			<description><![CDATA[ Two possible oddities at Cobh yesterday (Thursday). 
<br>
<br>
Went down to see the Oriana and mixed in amongst the usual local tour coaches operating from the ship was 03TS11 Setra of JJK.  Could just be a coincidence -
operating a tour which just happened to be in Cobh at the time.
<br>
<br>
95KK2336 seemed to be operating a rail replacement service - saw it loading passengers at Cobh then at Rushbrooke.  However, a dmu then trundled past without
stopping!  Odd.
