Throwback Thursday (446)

            This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1998 and to RA 191 at the route 45A terminus in Dun Laoghaire. 

From 1936 to 1942, route 45A operated between the city centre and Bray. It was then cut back from the city centre to Dun Laoghaire due to fuel shortages caused by the Second World War. From around 1985 to around 1996 it was extended to Ballywaltrim. It was then cut back to Bray Station, before returning to Ballywaltrim in 2004. It was extended to Kilmacanogue in 2015, and Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route in October 2018.

RA 191 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. It was withdrawn in 2006 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

The bus is in an all-over ad for Heinz Beans. The bus carried this ad for about 6 years.
