Dublin Coach Experience Discussion Thread

also which buses are 155 and 157 because I heard one of the drivers mentioning last week that there was an engine swap going into 157. I check every number that I’ve seen in the redcow and couldn’t find it if you know.

The gold Sprinter van is back on the Dundrum route...

green bus after hitting this in Nass

That would be an easy win for BÉ if they manage it to get it off DC's hands.

Have you any idea when this contract will be announced between now & April?

Both sprinters are back now - sure they don't need the sprinters anymore anyway!

on the sc 151 on the 726

726 to Portlaoise is late as usual

people still think that there going to get new buses that a good joke

As far as I know, all the Vanhool deckers are gone now

Does it really matter? This lot could have a full fleet of shiny brand new 2025 vehicles and the service would still be abysmal, driving standards shocking, and maintenance apparently non-existent until they collapse on the motorway/side of the road.

Best thing that could happen would be that their routes/licenses are pulled and given to a proper operation.... But for some reason, despite all of the above and constant complaints about them, they're still going.

This being Ireland, I can only assume that it's a mixture of regulatory laziness, incompetence and connections. They're actually running dangerously defective vehicles and standards yet they seem to be untouched by the supposed rules around the provision of such services.
