Throwback Thursday (469)
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1999 and to RV 422 parked on Marlborough Street, dressed for route 32A.
CIE started operating route 32A in 1958, taking the route over from the GNR(I). It ran between the city centre and Malahide, but ceased to operate in 1966. It returned to the network around 1971. The route reached Malahide by going via Raheny and Baldoyle. It completely stopped operating in 2012, when under Network Direct route 32 was extended to Malahide.
RV 422 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.
