Throwback Thursday (368)
This week we are going ack twenty-seven years to 1996 and RA 236 in Dun Laoghaire. This bus is dressed for route 75 which started running between Dun Laoghaire and Tallaght in February 1990. The number had previously been used on a local Tallaght route that ran between Fettercairn and Kilnamanagh from late-1985 to late-1987. The Tallaght terminus of the newer 75 moved to The Square Shopping Centre when it opened in late-1990. Go-Ahead Ireland took over the route from Dublin Bus in October 2018.
RA 236 was new to Dublin Bus in 1995. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
