Bus Eireann

[Meridian]

And sadly probably the end of VWD 411;

Latest: Road cleared and reopened after bus struck railway bridge

The Bus Éireann vehicle was heading towards Blackpool when it struck a railway bridge at the end of Dublin Hill shortly after 9am.

It was not the end of VWD 411 at all.

It was sent back up to Wrights in Ballymena and they stripped it down and rebuilt it.
It went back on the road earlier this week.

On the ball.
I was so excited last night that I got my facts wrong so in order to now put them right here we go :

LF 201 to LF 210 are for Broadstone.
LF 211 to LF 215 are for Roxboro.
LF 216 to LF 224 are for Capwell.

The Capwell allocation is :
LF 216 - 245 X ( Dublin)
LF 217 - 245 X ( Dublin)
LF 218 - 226 ( Kinsale )
LF 219 - 226 ( Kinsale )
LF 220 - 226 ( Kinsale )
LF 222 - 245 ( Clonmel )

With the allocation of LF 222 to the 245 and with it being outbased at Clonmel, this frees up LF 447 which is currently designated a " spare ", it is currently serving the 245 between Capwell and Fermoy.

And as for VWD 411, well it is currently on the 214 city service

And here we have LF 222, she is number 5 of the 10 new LF' s coming to Cork.
It will spend its time on the 245 route between here and Clonmel.View attachment 31421

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?

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
