Bus Eireann

[Meridian]

Not a bus nerd, but I saw this bus making what I presume was the end of its journey to Cork the other day, on the South Ring. It was traveling in tandem with another bus which seemed to be the same and which had a sequential registration number (7905 or 7907, can't remember which).

Interesting, LF 222's reg is 241 C 7906.

Perhaps you saw LF 221 and 223 ?

Must check that out, what day was that ?

Yeah that's what I mean - it was a sequential registration with the bus in the pic, just can't remember it if was one up or one down. Must have been Thursday I saw them - only day this week I used the South Ring in the morning according to my location history. They were travelling together through the tunnel (I copped them as new buses being delivered when I noticed the sequential registrations) and turned off at Kinsale Road (as did I) - going to Capwell I'd imagine.

So LF221 went into service today, off down to Ardmore and back, so that's another one.

Here are the reg's of them :

LF216 - 241-C-5967
LF217 - 241-C-7900
LF218 - 241-C-7901
LF219 - 241-C-7902
LF220 - 241-C-7903
LF221 - 241-C-7905
LF222 - 241-C-7906

A quick question. What does 'scheduled' mean on the TFI live departures' web page?

It means that according to their system / information at that given time that the service will be there at that approximate time.
TFI as such don't operate the service, the likes of Bus Eireann/ Dumplin Bus / GAI etc

They have all arrived now, all 10 of them. LF's 223, 224 and 225 arrived down yesterday and all went into service today

Also PAD 128 arrived down from Limerick last week so that makes it 3 of those city Hybrid deckers down here now.

The sooner those 16 year old 2008 shit heaps are taken off the road the better. Absolutely horrible going long distance on one of these . Stinking hot, with no air vents working.

There might be a bus at some point in the future if you are lucky.

Yes they are being allocated to their school transport fleet
