Throwback Thursday (80)
This week we are going back twenty years to 1997. Dublin Bus was just 10 years old at the time and were considering a new livery for the buses. One optioned considered was to keep two tone green livery (though shades slightly different) with the orange stripe, but to present it in a much more radical way. Two buses received this test livery - double-decker RH 86 and single-decker AD 24. The latter is seen here on O'Connell Sreet operating cross-city route 3 from Sandymount to Larkhill.
In the end Dublin Bus went with a cream/orange/blue livery. O'Connell Street, 19/07/1997
