To the untrained eye a bus is as old as the gloss on its paintwork makes it look , during the mid 90's I remember being told that there was a "new" bus parked on Merchants Quay, curiosity got the better of me as nothing new was expected around this time so I headed in to have a look at this "new" bus , imagine my surprise to find the "new" bus was none other than freshly restored C 236 , so if a 30 odd year old C class can pass itself off as a new bus (even if the restoration work could only be described as excellent) then any bus can be made to look new.



C236 was not restored, having beem withdrawn from Drogheda in 11/85 and scrapped in 1987.
Perhaps it was C26 (red and cream), or C234 (brown and cream).....??
