Throwback Thursday (405)
This week we are going back fourteen years to 2009 and RV 479 on Eden Quay. The bus is dressed for route 15F. This route started running between the city centre and Kiltipper in 2001 (until 2003 the terminus was listed as Aylesbury and then Ellensborough). This was a peak-time only route that went via the Tallaght QBC and Rathmines, with one service in each direction a day. The route ceased to operate in December 2011 under Network Direct changes in the Rathmines area.
RV 479 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. This Volvo Olympian was withdrawn in late-2011 and was sold on to another Irish operator. 27/10/2009
