Throwback Thursday (480)
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2008, and to RV 421 on D'Olier Street with a service on route 117 to Kilcross.
Route 117 was one of the peak-hour routes that started in 1999 in conjunction with the opening of the Stillorgan Quality Bus Corridor (QBC). The route ran between Kilcross and the city centre, going via Ballyogan and Corneslcourt. In 2005 the route was extended to serve the new development at Belarmine. In 2009 the route was one of many cut from the network in order to reduce costs during the financial crisis.
RV 421 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009 and sold on to an operator in United Kingdom.
