WHO LET THE FIRSTBUS INTO THE RALLY.!!!!!

After picking up Tiger NXI4629 from the Ulsterbus depot at Milewater Road, we headed to the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum were the 'Irish Transport Trust' were holding their 2008 Bus & Coach Rally, and were we were booked in with NXI4629 as an exhibit.

A good selection of buses were on display, many of which were from 'Ulsterbus' origins. However, i was totally unhappy to see yet another Firstbus in Northern Ireland, this time one on display at the rally.!!! If i go to Northern Ireland, i expect to see Ulsterbus, if i go to the republic of Ireland i expect to see Bus Eireann - I DO NOT expect to see Firstbus.!!

As i was taking NXI4629 to Cork, we could only stay until 14:00, but by that time i had photographed mostly everything anyway.
