Throwback Thursday (59)
A visit back to 2008 this week to see the previous tour livery. On the 7th February 2017, Dublin Bus launched the new brand and livery for the Dublin Bus tours, now called DoDublin. This rebranding replaces the current livery which is a two-tone green with a yellow stripe. That livery itself was introduced in 2008 and replaced the one seen here on AV 328. This bus was not part of the open-top City Tour but rather used on the South Coast Tour and based in Donnybrook Garage. In the peak periods it was used on extra services on the main routes from the garage, such as the 145 as seen here. At this time the route still went to Kilmacanogue via Bray Station. The bus did not last long in the tour fleet and within a few years was part of the normal fleet. It is still clinging on in service today but now operates out of Harristown. The South Coast Tour still operates visiting places such as Powerscourt and Glendalough.
