Plenty of West Cork obos today.AD23 - parked in Bandon depot, did not look like a bus that was withdrawn to me(it's also moved since I last saw it a couple of weeks ago, and it was reported as withdrawn the last time I saw it).AD25 - also parked up un Bandon depot, doesn't look like a bus that is meant to be withdrawn either.Unidentified AD withdrawn in Skibbereen garage, in the standard(i.e. not in Cork schools) AD schools livery. I think it might have been one of the lower numbered ADs but I'm not sure.
AS4 - OOS in Skibbereen garage
DA4 - schools in BandonDA9 - schools in BandonDA10 - also on schools in Bandon, these have replaced the Bandon PDs(4, 11 and 23)
MH13 - schools in InishannonMH17 - schools in SkibbereenMH20 - also on schools in Skibbereen, looking well(and like a coach that's been repainted recently)Unidentified ML OOS in Skibbereen garage, it is one of the MLs in the proper chevrons livery, so that means it can't be ML17, 18 or 104 as these are in Cork schools. ML101 and ML109 are Capwell based, so that means it was either 102 or 103 or an outside bet is ML107 but nobody seems to know where that is. PD4 - withdrawn in BandonPD11 has disappeared from Bandon, I wonder is it in Capwell now or has it gone to the crusher already?PD23 - also withdrawn in BandonPD39 - withdrawn in Skibbereen garage, has been in the same spot for months nowPD51 - on schools in Halfway, this is now the only PD left in service in CorkSC48 - 40ASC223, SC244 - 236SC275, SC278 - 237SC280 - 233SI111 - schools in Clonakilty
SL6 - 226, very unusual for an SL to be on the airport service during the week.SL20 - 10
SR16 - 251, this is the Monday to Friday only service between Skibbereen, Drimoleague and Baltimore. It is operated by Skibbereen garage(a sub-garage of Capwell). VP343 was the bus used since September 2007 until April this year. VC72 and VC116 were on this service before that. SR16 would appear to be the replacement bus, though I must say I've seen SR16 a fair few times in Cork since then but this is at least in theory VP343's replacement.SR18 - 238TE35 - parked in Bandon depot, it looked like it might be withdrawn but I'm not sure.VC135 - OOS in Skibbereen garage, with the bus scoile stickers covering the DMD!VC137 - schools in ClonakiltyVC207 - schools in Skibbereen, looks well.VC318 - 237VP342 - OOS in Parnell Place bus station, still in service thank God.VP405 - receiving maintenance attention in Skibbereen garage today.VWD5 - 8VWD6 - 232VWL9 - 2VWL101 - 5VWL123 - 1VWL129 - 222VWL166 - 5VWL167 - 5Last, but by no means least, Skibbereen have an all white Transit panel van with the new BÉ logos, and their DAF recovery vehicle is still going strong.
