View from the Only Deck: December Diesel Dusk - VWL317 on Limerick's Route 306, Sun. 15/12/24.
Apologies for the sound of expletives!
NTA/Bus Éireann (Roxboro Depot, Limerick) Wright Eclipse Urban Volvo B7RLE VWL317 (12-D-8578) on Limerick City Route 306 between Henry Street and Knockalisheen Road on Sunday, 15th December 2024.
For the past year or so, there have only been four single-deck city buses left in the BÉ city fleet and it looks like twenty-six more Wright Electroliners are arriving at Roxboro Depot at present, so it does seem likeiy that the VWLs will be displaced very soon.
VWL317 is one of a batch of seven that entered service in the city in March 2012.

i think more new charging points finally built so more ewds can finally come to limerick at last :D
i think vwd425 and 426 still at old depot by roxoboro
i dont know if its tired or something
at 3:30 a strange sound from the engine
like i said yesterday routes 305 and 313 will be have to ewd operated since the vwls will be leaving
i dont know if u saw my text i said how will 26 electric double deckers will fit in roxoboro depot if the depot in a mess?
ya the vwls should've left long time ago but thank god they're finally leaving next year
for first time the 304A is fully electric double decker today
So I see. Am uploading a spin on VWL317 earlier. It could be my last trip on her if she is seen off by the new EWDs. She smelt as musty as ever. They must leave the windows open when they run her through the wash.
@@paulbelfastlimerick ya
For those curious, MC 308 is in fact active as I saw it earlier on the 223 but isn’t tracking
really?
@ yep and saw VWD 20 at the bus station two days ago
@@Busandtrainluvr2k nice
The end of vwls getting nearer i bet it'll be january or february or march they'll finally leave
But if all buses in a mess in depot then how will the newest ewds thats for limerick fit in the depot if the buses all over the place?
So maybe the vwls could go to auction up for sale or mullingar scrapyard
Four new EWDs up at the old depot earlier. I imagine that the PADs' days are numbered now!
Ya maybe
The depot soon be fully electric double deckers
But like i said before i dont know if the vwls are going drogheda or dundalk if they arent then they'll more likely have to be withdrawn and scrapped because they are very old nearly 13 years old
I dont know if the pads still going cork if not then i dont know where they'll go
I think the ewds will have to be on 306 305 313 since the vwls will be leaving
i dont know if u saw my text i said i wonder are the pads still going to leave for cork
That's the plan Liam. Cork need to keep a few single deckers (not many) because of low bridges but there is nowhere to offload the rest just yet but at some stage, the PADs from here will displace them.
@@paulbelfastlimerick ya once the 21 ewds come to limerick maybe?
@@paulbelfastlimerick wel i dont think the pads might'nt fit through low bridges because one time vwd411 hitted the bridge near blackpool cork. so if glenthorn area is to be double decker the bridge needs to be lifted high. do u know what i mean?
306 is'nt tracking today so i dont know if its a vwl or pad or ewd
Probably a VWL. Their trackers are very intermittent. At this rate, we'll likely have VWLs into 2025!
@@paulbelfastlimerick ya but they wont see 2026
no single deckers in service today. ewd104 on 306 pad128 on 313. wel 305 is only single decker
vwl316 was on the 305 today but at 12:30 it went to the depot. 3 hours later its not tracking. plus no 305 for three hours
I've noticed PADs on the 313 a lot this week alright Liam. I think that the trackers on the VWLs are very poor and that is why there is so much "invisibility" on the 305/305A and 313. Also, why are they using two separate route numbers for what is in effect a very short cross-city route that uses one bus???
i dont know if i told u but the bus driver told me the new charging points are being build at the depot
2 vwls were on 303 earlier. vwl315 and 316
Yes I saw that and was going to get one of them when they came back over to the north-side but then they "dropped off the radar". It's curious that three of them were out for runs today!
@@paulbelfastlimerick Oh ok
@@paulbelfastlimerick vwl313 the only one not in service
Oh, just to add VWL317 still has that overpowering musty smell, which could well be due to water ingress when it is sent through the wash.
@@paulbelfastlimerick oh
and i saw an electroliner at galway bus depot i dont know whats it doing there
Oh there is a bit of (very-advance) familiarisation going on there as a sort of "taster" or "appetiser" but I can't see them starting there for another 9 or 12 months.
@@paulbelfastlimerick i dont know if its limerick based or galway based
@@liamoconnor2718 No, it is from here. 113 possibly. I can't recall which.
i dont get it. why are they still here?
I don't know Liam. There must be some method to the madness. The Monday to Friday city PVR is 30 (including the 313) and I suppose having only 34 EWDs would be risky, all the more so as there are "injects" into the 304 most afternoons. So they will need to keep some PADs and/or VWLs until the other 21 EWDs arrive whenever that will be. Remember that they need spare buses for driver training, for breakdown cover, for vehicle testing and of course some like PAD121 can be off the road for weeks por months.
@@paulbelfastlimerick oh ok ya i hope pad121 comes back
i had vwl317 on 305 today when i was on it. there was a bad smell from the single deckers i think its the ramp thats causing the smell. man vwl313 315 316 and 317 really need to leave limerick for good
suprisingly first vwd diesel double decker fitted through saint marys park ewd electric double decker fitted through saint marys park now pad hybrid double decker fitted through saint marys park them 3 actually did'nt hit the wires in saint marys park
The cork vwls arent also in service so i think the cork vwls are also gonna leave too
That is interesting. A bank holiday weekend is the best time to transfer as there are two consecutive days of "Sunday" boards.
@@paulbelfastlimerick ya so maybe they are all gone to drogheda or dundalk
When you said i wonder if the vwls are leaving us incase you didnt see text i said thats what im wondering too
That is good news alright but really the worst time for weather, traffic and daylight.
Ya
suprisingly all the routes are double decker for the first time today
the works by bloodmill rd are starting 20th november and ends february 2025 so the new bus stops and shelters will be ready
pad132 is on 305A for the first time on a sunday
there's one thing i dont get. why does the 317A Only goes out to ennis only once?
now ennis rd towards jetland shopping centre has extra routes 343 317 now 317A Although there's routes in cork and limerick that has the A in limerick there's 304A 305A in cork theres 202A 207A 208A and 209A
i was on the Vb before but from ennis rd to limerick i find the seats uncomfortable because i think they are hard
i thought 317 317A were used by local link
i dont know if you heard but on bloodmill rd the works are starting there two bus stops and shelters, that means the new bus routes can go through there
About time. The new Route 2 will go that way!

@@paulbelfastlimerick im wondering too
the electroliners should have entered service next year instead of this year
Bet Limerick are gonna rue getting rid of some buses
how are they gonna resolve this
God knows. However, I would imagine that warranty periods are still in force so Hitachi would have to attend. If it is an electricity supply issue, then ESB Networks need to attend.
@@paulbelfastlimerick either of them need to fix them.
Well if they need to use a VWD on a Sunday, when 16 buses are required for City Services, how will they manage for 30 in the morning, unless this electrical issue is resolved?
thats a good question
i dont know if u saw the text i said i think vwd423,425 are in service because the overnight chargers are'nt working i dont know how
glen reddin told me the reason the vwds did'nt transfer to cork because there's no room in capwell depot
looks like vwd421 to 426 wont be transferring anytime soon i guess
suprising the ewds now have no teething issues. except 172 the one with the middle door and another ewd cant remember which one but the one with one door opened one slammed and also not showing the bus routes but the destinations
