Throwback Thursday (372) - a photo on Flickriver

            This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996 and the last few days of a bus route in Dublin. RH 158 is seen parked on Marlborough Street dressed for route 44A. This route first started running between the city centre and Mount Prospect Avenue in 1936. It and route 30 ( to Dollymount) were merged into new route 130 in late-March 1996. The new route 130 was also operated by City Imp mini-buses. 44A was one of the few route numbering oddities within the bus network of Dublin city. The 44 ran to Enniskerry and the 44B ran to Glencullen, both south of the city. While the 44A terminus on Mount Prospect Avenue was within the northside suburb of Clontarf. 
RH 158 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It became part of the driving school in 2006 and was withdrawn in 2008 before being sold on to another operator in Ireland. 
In front of the bus is a van belonging to Telecom Eireann, the state-owned phone provider. It was privatised in 1999 and became Eircom.
