Still looking smart even at 19 years old, this Scania is waiting to unload with passengers for stations to Cork. The inbound service had just arrived, and was still unloading so passengers were encouraged to wait in the coaches in the dry rather than rely on Newbridge station's limited shelter!
The operation was contracted to Bernard Kavanagh by Iarnród Éireann, who in turn hired in from other operators to cover the large commitment required. This coach was actually new to Bernard Kavanagh.
