Throwback Thursday (498)
This week we are going back sixteen years to 2009, and to RV 551 arriving into Balbriggan with a service on route 33.
CIE took over operation of this route from the GNR(I) in 1958, and it is still operated by Dublin Bus to this day. The route connects the city centre with Skerries, going via Swords, Lusk and Rush. Certain departures are extended to / from Balbriggan, and it is the most northerly route in the Dublin city network.
RV 551 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2012, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. It was still operating there until at least 2022.
