Bus Eireann Old buses Cork/Waterford

double jeopardy

Does anyone know here whats the oldest buses that Bus Eireann use on it's routes?Myself and my girlfriend had the misfortune of having to use the Cork/Waterford service just shortly after Christmas.One bus left from the station in Cork and another bus arrived to take the rest of us passengers.The state of this coach was a total joke.(It wasn't until we got off in Dungarvan that i saw that it was a 93 kk reg.)Can they be serious?A 20 year old piece of ****e ON A MAIN EXPRESSWAY SERVICE where people pay top dollar? (Iv'e seen a 2009 coach picking up kids as a school bus where we live).The smell of dampness,diesel fumes and general dirt from it was unreal..The driver was turned out in much the same fashion,he did not even wear a uniform.The lockers were filthy with years of dust and it rattled like a theme park ride. It had chewing gum stuck to the seats and they smelt and felt of dampness.I know were in recession but come on like.Surely bus eireann has more modern buses to do these runs.Ive seen some very nice newish coaches on some routes.Is this a regular just on cork/waterford service or are there many more of this kind of bus serving other express routes? I'm just curious about this along with being amazed,annoyed,and ripped off....

This isn't the right place, try Commuting and Transport instead:
