That announcement was originally by Bus Eireann, NTA subsequently changed that date, either way it stopped being a private BE service on that, it received PSO funding until it finished on Saturday night.
First off lads, to any of you that use the buses, you could save a few bob here. 10 bus rides for € 10 when you download the new TFI Go App, then you pay for your journey from your phone, no more leap cards.
VWD's 401 - 407 are on our streets down here having been transferred down from Galway over the last while, VWD 410 has joined its sisters here this weekend.
There will be another transfer of VWD's down from Limerick fairly soon as theirs are, like Galway's being replaced with the new PAD's, just to keep the Green tree huggers happy.
The reason here is that the SL's in Capwell will be retiring shortly, these are the single decker Scania buses that have served us well since 2009, SL 16 was recently taken off the road so the remaining 24 will also be joining it shortly.
We now only have 1 of the VWL type single deckers, which is VWL 324, the rest of them have been retired or transferred to Limerick, Drogheda and Dundalk.
It's always very sad to see these vehicles move away from home for the last time. Think of all the laughter and stories that those machines have heard from generations of Cork people over the years.
