Top list updated, hopefully it's more accurate now! Do Waterford really have all that many coaches at the moment? They seem to have too many coaches, while Limerick have too few. Since 2012, Limerick got SE11 and 12, SP12, 40-42, 44 and 45, and SCs 32-35, 257-260 and 267, which is 17 coaches. They've also put SPs 116-120 into revenue service, so that's 22 new/newer coaches.
They've lost/transferred the following coaches; SC12-16 and 18-22, SP1-5, SR10, 13, 14, and 25-28, plus VCs 307 and 308, which is 24 coaches. So Limerick are down two coaches compared to the start of 2012.
Waterford on the other hand have a LOT more coaches now than they used to. Since January 2012, they have gained the following coaches: LC201-205, SE1-4, SP20, 21, 33, 34, 46-49 and 78-80, which is a total of 20 transfers into Waterford. However, they've lost/transferred the following coaches: SC32-38, VG3 and VP313, 315, 319, 336 and 337, which means they only lost 13 coaches, so they have an extra seven coaches.
Regarding VC315, wouldn't it have made more sense to keep the bus in service over the summer, and then put it on schools at the end of August? They're going to need extra buses to operate the 252 for example. Anyway, no surprise to see Capwell losing a VC300 to schools, they've had extra coaches for a while now so it was only a matter of time really. They could lose another one as well, as there is still an extra coach in the fleet over what was there before the tours SPs and LCs came in. Although I personally would have preferred to see them lose the 04 reg SRs first, I'm sure there won't be too many people in Cork regretting the loss of that bus to schools!
