Throwback Thursday (119)

It is 1998 and RH 137 is seen on Eden Quay. It is loading up prior to departing for Ardlea Road on the 20B. This route was once part of an extended 20 family, but it ended up being the longest surviving one. Under Network Direct the route became part of an extended cross-city route 14. This connects Beaumont with Dundrum. The 20B was mostly a northside route, serving Fairview, Donnycarney and Beaumont. However, certain peak workings crossed the Liffey and served St. Stephen's Green.

RH 137 was new in 1992 and had been delivered in the two-tone green livery. The bus stop beside is green, but the bus has been repainted into the new core livery. The last bus arrived in the green livery in 1997. After the bus ended its career it was sold to Dualways and became an open-top tour bus. 18/04/1998
