Just to be pedantic and correct something Will has posted, it is VW
2
(not VW3) that they are advertising.
VW3 is registered as 97 C 814. 97 C 811 is the registration of VW2.
Seeing photos of VW2 brings back a lot of memories for me, I still miss those buses, they were so powerful, comfortable and reliable, the only thing wrong with them was they killed off the last of our KDs, and therefore there were the usual capacity problems that Cork because of a lack of deckers, but apart from that and the fact they weren't low floor, they were an excellent bus.
One of the interesting things they mention in the ad is that there is a "new seatbelt cert"(i.e. they can be used for schools), which makes you wonder why BÉ mothballed these vehicles for almost three years, when they could(and should) have been on schools instead?
