Throwback Thursday (391) - a photo on Flickriver

This week we are going back twenty-five years to 1998, and to RH 139 on Marlborough Street. The bus is dressed for route 20A. This route started running between the city centre and Donnycarney North in 1948, and was an off-shoot of route 20. These routes (along with the 20B) went via Fairview and the Malahide Road. In 1997 the 20A was cut back to just a handful of departures, becoming a derivative of the 20B in the process. The route finally ceased to operate in 1999, with the 20B lasting until 2011. A definitive history of the route can be found here: dublinbusstuff.com/Routes20.html

RH 139 was new to Dublin Bus in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2006 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
