   Why dismantle a good bus? A UK company will snap it up!

   They could always save a fortune and just transfer it to a different garage. Personally I'd have no problem driving it if it moved to Donnybrook. Understandably, some of the drivers at Conyngham Rd don't want to see it back, but most of the people I've spoken to wouldn't have any problem driving it. There's no point in being superstitious.

   You'll find this bus may have to be kept in storage until after the court case as it is an important piece of evidence.
   Does anybody know when this case is due to be heard? Last week a judge apologised for the delay in the Navan bus crash and it got me thinking how painful it must be for families involved in the Wellington Quay tragedy to be still waiting for the case to be heard.
   In relation to AV32, I think out of respect for families of those involved and Dublin Bus drivers, it may be best to sell this bus to the UK.

    It won't be going anywhere until the court case and any appeals are over with so it'll be kicking its heels for sometime yet.

    With its low mileage it would be better kept wouldnt it? Many a DB bus with a fatal past, i would have no problems driving it as i dont the others.

    Av32 Is Visible From The City Tour Just Before you turn out by Heuston Station(Can't Remember The Street). And I Think There is Another Bus There too (Bus Eireann).

    I think it did temporarily, but it is back in regular service now, most are, except AV32. I think AV250 was also involved in an accident in October and I have seen it since then.

    Sorry got it confused with 309 which I was on the other day.
    
    WV52 wasnt in an accident.
    
    AV52 was rear ended bya truck near Ballycoolin last year and WV25 crashed into a bus shelter/wall? on Thomas Street
