Indeed SL. I'd say there'll be a fair few Tralee SCs on schools as well because they've got 3 X SP and 3 X SC200 over the past few weeks, so there should be another six SCs gone. Tralee's oldest coaches are VC23-28 which coincidentally is six coaches. I don't know if they're going to be withdrawn or not, but I suppose they probably will be given their age. Mind you, it's strange the way 96 reg VCs are being withdrawn when Cavan and Dundalk still have a lot of 94 and 95 reg ones still on schools. This actually is one of the few benefits of the LDs being delayed, because there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for the VCs to be withdrawn so soon, they were hived off to schools WAY too early and now history is sadly repeating itself with them being withdrawn far too early as well. At least this way the VCs are going to stay for that little bit longer.
Broadstone do seem to have given away an awful lot of stuff, far more than they've taken in, so perhaps some SCs which were intended for schools will move there for a bit until such time as the LD issue is resolved. I notice that Dundalk and Cavan have taken in a lot of stuff (SCs mostly), it will be interesting to see what happens there as well. I know ex-Tralee bus SC36 had schools stickers but they were then removed and it's been on road passenger duties since. I suspect a good few SCs in Limerick are gone on schools as well (and possibly some SRs too - SR35 of course is already on schools), as they've got a fair few cascaded coaches from Waterford and Broadstone. I think Galway should have something to give away or cascade to schools too, because they've got 3 X new SE, 3 X cascaded SE from Broadstone, and 3 X new SC, but all that's happened so far is the SPs have gone to Clonmel (3), VC327 has been put on schools and they've lost 2 X SC to Athlone, so they've still got more coaches now than they had.
