gnr302. Would I be right in saying that most of the Clontarf R800'S ended up dumped in a field somewhere in Kildare ? I remember a newspaper article about this and a photograph showing the buses which if I remember correctly fell prey to vandals within in a short period. Also did CIE keep a reserve fleet of half cab double deckers at Inchicore during the Seventies? Any idea of the size and fleet numbers ? I think this was carried out in case of the Northern troubles spreading south.
