A VP in the Chevrons livery on the 9PM Dublin - Galway this evening. Didnt catch the number, although VP336 is sometimes a performer on this route, so maybe it was her. We are really rolling back the years on route 20 at the moment!

Are Galway short of SP's at the moment by any chance?

I also heard that some senior men in Galway recently objected to old buses being put in to replace SP's when unavailable for the Dublin run (by old I mean older than VG's). Do the drivers have any right at all to specify what they drive if there is a choice available, and do the garages consider route distance when allocating buses during a possible shortage, or is it 'take whats there and go where you are going'?
