Well the tender said 20 tri-axles, so I hope that was just a typo!
That clears one thing up - we're definitely not getting SPs as we know it (Scania/Irizar PBs), maybe Bus Éireann will keep classifying them as SPs even though it's a different body but we'll wait and see! Also now we know for certain that the commuter coaches will most definitely by SCs (though we unofficially knew this already).
I think you're right on this one too PB Jim as regards rumours, I'm going to do my best to restrain myself and not make any comments about possible allocations till we see the liveries the coaches are in and where they get allocated! Even though I would love for Cork to get some brand new coaches, I am not going to be parochial and say we should get them - I think they should be allocated in such a way that BÉ can get them all VAT free! I do hope we get some cascaded SPs though, especially for the 8, that could do with fresher machinery combined with a better timetable so that it doesn't keep stopping in the arse end of nowhere and makes it take 4 hours 30 minutes when it should be possible in just over three hours with our new motorway network!
