Throwback Thursday (388) - a photo on Flickriver

            This week we are going back twenty-five years to 1998 and RH 136 on Marlborough Street. The bus is laying over between duties on route 20B. This route started around 1980, initially between Ardlea Road and Bulfin Road. By 1988 it was only operating between Ardlea Road and the city centre, and in 2011 it was absorbed into a new cross-city route 14 under Network Direct.
RH 136 was new to Dublin Bus in 1992 and was withdrawn in 2005 and moved to a UK operator the following year.
The bus was also recently repainted into the new Dublin Bus livery when the picture was taken. Around 2003 Dublin Bus started experimenting with a new livery, before finally settling on a new blue / yellow one. That blue / yellow livery is currently being phased out, but is currently the Dublin Bus livery with most longevity.
Finally the bus is displaying the Irish for city centre - "An Lár". This was a very common destination for decades, but in early-2000s was replaced by a new translation - "Lár na Cathrach".
