Newtoncork Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtoncork Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERW1 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) 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. Edited May 6 by LNERW1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
