Throwback Thursday (440)
This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1993 and to RH 136 at Dublin Airport.
This Leyland Olympian was new to Dublin Bus in 1992. The bus was one of a batch that was delivered without ad-frames as a new design was being implemented. The bus was withdrawn in 2006 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
The bus is operating a service on the Airport Express service. CIE, and later Dublin Bus, ran an express service to Dublin Airport from the city centre for many decades. In its final form, as Airlink route 747, it last ran in early-2020. It was then suspended because of the Covid-19 pandemic and then cancelled completely in 2021.
