Hey,

I'm in the middle of organising a trip to Ireland in a couple of months. Well, we all now the trains cost an arm and a leg around those parts of the world and I was thinking of hiring a bus from Ulsterbus (Translink if you will).
But my question is; can 22 people, complete with luggage for ten days, fit in a 25 persons' bus? Does anybody have a picture of their buses (mind you, only the ones that can carry 25 people)?

These Ulsterbus Eurolines Coaches seem big enough --

Ah but that isn't a 25 seater bus is it? That's a 50/60 seater bus.

Well too much room is better than...erm, running out of room.

I looked up Ulsterbus - it seems the Flexibus 'Private Hire for up to 25 people' looks promising, though it does not say exactly what the minibus would be.

Sorry, I meant the Flexibus ones right from the start. I couldn't find a picture of it either and that's why I came here. Thanks for the help so far though, much appreciated.

Well some of these may be along the right lines: http://community.fotopic.net/search/sim ... &action=Go

I've travelled on similar buses and they have quite a substanial luggage area as well as a wheelchair area.
