Realistically there's not going to be any extra deckers in Cork until May-June 2013 at the earliest barring Broadstone releasing a few, and I think it's fairly safe to say that that is not going to happen!
Even if they weren't new, they'd have to come from somewhere. The only deckers that could come to Cork soon are the AVs, but BÉ aren't going to buy those, that's already been mentioned here before.
If you think about it, orders for this year went in in early June and it wasn't until February before the VWDs went into service, we're now nearly halfway through October and still nothing.
To be honest the timeline is so tight now for new buses I don't believe that there will be any new buses coming until 2014 because that's the year that the BÉ and DB PSO contracts are up for renewal with the NTA, so it remains to be seen what happens there. It doesn't make sense to order new buses to BÉ or DB spec when they mightn't be with the companies for more than six months given that the NTA will be funding them. But as always, we'll wait and see.
