    Just wondering what the story is there, Is it a private collection or what? I passed it yesterday and it was all closed up. What is in there?

    Also i could have sworn there was a Metro Vic A class somewhere alongside the road on the way from cork to Clonakilty in recent years?

    Cheers

    Where's the Ramble Inn? There hasn't been a Metrovick in West Cork since the railway was lifted.

    Ramble Inn = Halfway House? If so the 'collection' there belongs to the Halfway Vintage Club and includes some of the former GSRPS (Mallow) collection but nothing of real interest.

    I think the Ramble Inn is in Waterfall and had various photos and artifacts on it's wall.

    No Metrovicks in Cork, just a Ruston at the Halfway

    Maybe your thinking of the C which used to be at Caherciveen?

    If you do pass it again, the C class is numbered C202 and as far as I know should be in south kilkenny

    Google this:-

    Bring up street view and head down the hill and see what you can find!

    Indeed it has, and I know exactly where it is! Just not viewable on street view unfortunately.

    A few rotting relics from Mallow out in the open with a sad looking CIE double-decker also left to the elements. :( They have a rally/open day every sept if someone actually wants to view this depressing dereliction up close.
