Provincial Past (250)
For the 250th Provincial Past we are going back to KR 61 in Galway.
This bus was new to CIE in 1985. After the year 2000 it joined the Bus Eireann school fleet, and remained a school bus until at least 2004.
The bus is operating a service to Rahoon Park. Bus Eireann currently operate route 405 to Rahoon, though now use double-decker buses on it.
KR 61 is one of a number of buses within the Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus fleets to carry all-over advertising for Coca Cola. In 1994 the design of the ad on KR 61 was updated. These were all painted by hand, unlike nowadays where vinyl is used.
