Throwback Thursday (304)

            Going back eleven years this week to RV 551 at the route 123 terminus in Marino. At this time the route was predominately operated by the single-deck midibuses of the WV Class, although the RV double deckers made occasional appearances on the route. However, that was all about to change when this picture was taken. Behind the RV are two members of the EV Class. They had started to transfer into Summerhill Garage during this week, and within a few days had completely taken over the 123, replacing the WV Class. The EV buses remained on this route until Autumn 2021 when the new hybrid buses of PA Class took over. 
Route 123 started in the early 1990s when it started as a City Imp route replacing the former routes 23 and 24. It operated from Marino to Drimnagh via Ballybough and St James's Hospital. In more recent times it has had its southern terminus moved from Drimnagh Road to Kilnamanagh Road.
RV 551 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in May 2012 and moved to the United Kingdom where it had a further career with other operators. 05/11/2010
