Throwback Thursday (79)
This week we are going back to 2009. RV 541 is seen departing the 130 terminus on Abbey Street with a service to Castle Avenue. The Volvo Olympians were quite common on the route at the time, getting some of the oldest buses in the garage. Today though the 130 has some variety on the route, with anything from 13 year old AVs to 1 year old SGs appearing on it. The route was formed in 1996 with the merging of the routes 30 and 44A. It started under the City Imp brand before merging back into the standard route network. It is a high-frequency route serving Fairview, Clontarf and Dollymount, and is operated out of Clontarf Garage. RV 541 was withdrawn in 2010. 13/07/2009
