    absolutely ridiculous if they get rid of the 12 double-deckers this year they might replace those couches in 2026

    Got the 726 yesterday from Portlaoise. Half 6 never came but half 7 did and left 10 mins late and was a 142 reg Tourismo. Gearbox was eff'd driver had to drive the bus manually, door had to be pulled closed so it locked properly and it felt very jerky especially on the motorway, one heap of sh*t.

    One of the 08 Setras was parked up in Monasterevin, obviously broken down.

    Some buses that usually do the 300 service are being taken off that and placed on the 726 to avoid services getting cancelled, yet there's loads of buses in their depot that could be used that look half decent (for their standards)

    No, they could repair it but choose not to. It's also King Long, not “lion king” whatever that means...

    What a travesty of a service. You can't rely on a service that breaks down like this. Yet, the service is in place to be a reliable service to the public.

    TFI or who ever grant licenses should have more eyes on the quality of the fleet during the licence period.

    if they would’ve done their job, the company would’ve been off the road years ago

    As I mentioned the NTA has given them a slap on the wrist over the poor service on the 726 service. Taking buses off the 300 service to help this but then leaves the 300 with missing services so it's lose lose. The answer is simple - buy new buses to replace older stock or for expansion.

    2 09 KE Vanhool's are up at their depot during the week looking worse for ware. Doors just left open and wipers hanging off/missing. Safe to say the 12 reg Vanhools are the only ones left and sure, why would you need loads of deckers for the 726 when the clientele is very poor on it in recent times...

    they definitely need to purchase five double-decker for the 726 this year. I just hope they just decide not to purchase like 2016 ones.
