SR52 - picked up passengers in Parnell Place at 1620 from bay 14, but the LED was blank
SC48 - Rochestown schools
The 2008 VWDs aren't sounding as healthy as they used to, or as healthy as the B9TLs my local First division has (which would be slightly older than the 08 reg VWDs). I was also disappointed to hear a clunking sound from the front suspension of VWL154 yesterday, all the First Volvos in my area make the exact same sound, but the Bus Éireann ones never used to. I can only assume that the unreliability of the DDs is impacting on maintenance of the other buses in the fleet. It's a pity that standards have dropped, especially as Capwell no longer have the unreliable VC300s to deal with (yes I know they still have a lot of them, but only on schools, so they're not going to take up anything like as much time as they used to when they were far more intensively used as road passenger coaches).
