    Seen the picture attached today and thought I'd take a picture to share with you.

    It's an Irish company but this bus is on English plates, I'm sure there is possibly a very logical explanation but I can't see one.
    I've had a look at their website and can't any mention of either tours or transport to England or northern Ireland.
    I couldn't get up beside the bus to see if people were in it so it is possible they have only bought it and driving it to their garage till they get the vrt sorted out.
    Your thoughts?

    My thoughts?

    Why should you care, just pay attention to the road :)

    If you are that worried about it,instead of taking pictures (prob with your phone)
    Why didnt you use the phone as it was intended to be used and call the number on the bus and ask them.
    If you are driving around in a big yellow bus with your name and number on the back you are not trying to hide anything.
    Just my thoughts !!!!!

    My thoughts? A bit of trim restorer on that wiper arm would bring it back nicely,it's fair faded.

    Its clearly been bought from http://www.coachireland.com/

    you can see where the old vinyl was removed.


    that might explain the uk reg. perhaps they had the decals done up north after purchase and are going to clear it shortly

    Always wondered about those window stickers on the backs of buses, they're a bit like the stickers you see on hifis when they're in the shop, you know the ones that say "4x50w" and "dynamic bass boost" it really annoys me when people don't peel them off.
    Likewise with the bus I'd expect €300,000's worth to have ABS, similarly I'd expect a jacks and reading lights too. It wouldn't put me off being a passenger if those stickers weren't there to reassure me though.

    If it's the same company in Rathcoole? they have always bought buses from the UK. 15 years ago they used to have old double decker pieces of crap with no heating and flip down windows. He hasn't cleared it yet.Do you work for revenue or something?

    Radio was always on Atlantic 252 as well. :)

    Jasus sorry for posting something motoring related.
    Was curious as to why they'd be flying around with an English reg bus. I bought a car from northern Ireland a few years back and on my journey home I was pulled by an garda siochana and was warned that I shouldn't be driving it.
    I then was asked to produce tax insurance and an nct application within the following 10 days.

    Turns out it could be an independent outside operator contracted by dualway.

    If you could see the rest of the car you would agree that the wiper arm is the least of my detailing worries.
    And nope not revenue either.
