Throwback Thursday (416)

            This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1997 and RA 228 on Middle Abbey Street. The bus is dressed for route 66. 
The DUTC started running this route between the city centre and Maynooth in 1934. Around 1988 some departures started terminating on Straffan Road in Maynooth, but around 1996 it became the full-time terminus for the 66. The route ceased to operate in November 2021 when it was replaced by route C3 under Bus Connects. The C3 still uses Straffan Road as a terminus.

RA 228 was new to Dublin Bus in 1995, and was delivered in Wedding Bus livery. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. The Wedding Bus concept lasted until 2017.
