Was walking into Cork city the other night and heard the roar of a V8 behind me, with a crash of gears! Nearly didn't get a photo. This must be one of the oldest Bus Eireann vehicles in use, an 1989 ERF.  How many others are out there?

Not sure, I remember the older one in Cork, but it does seem that the recovery trucks are much older than the buses they are recovering. Looks like they only change them every 40 years or so.

In fairness, as they only have a couple which probably don’t see particularly frequent use, replacing them at closer intervals would mean they wouldn’t get the use out of them. 
Edit: just to clarify, I know nothing about buses except that they go vroom and that they’re kind of like Pacers with road wheels. Don’t ask me any in-depth questions, because Lord knows I can’t answer them.
