Throwback Thursday (75)
This week we are revisiting 1994 where we see RH 52 parked at Connolly Station. It is on the former "ramp" which went from the front door of the station down to ground level at Amiens Street. This was used throughout the day by the 90 bus which ran from the front of the station to Heuston Station, but was also used as a place to park buses between duties. The ramp was demolished in the early-2000s to make way for the Luas and is the site of the Luas Connolly stop on the Red Line.
The 31B is a route that is still with us today. It currently runs to Howth Summit via Sutton but twenty years ago the terminus was in Howth Village. The route today has far fewer departures than it did in 1994.
RH 52 had an interesting career as it survived until 2015, spending the last few years as the Uniform Bus. It was used to transport bus driver uniforms between garages. 14/06/1994
