This week we are going back sixteen years to RV 326 on O'Connell Bridge with a service on route 46E.
This route was introduced following the opening of Stillorgan Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) in 1999. Initially it operated in peak-hours between the city centre and Newtownpark Avenue in Blackrock. Certain services operated to Heuston Station, and certain services went via Stillorgan Village. In 2002 it was extended to Blackrock Station. Then in 2010 it was cut back to operate only in the morning-peak from Blackrock to Mountjoy Square via the Stillorgan QBC, with no return workings in the evening.
RV 326 was new to Dublin Bus in 1997, and was the second last Olympian delivered in the two-tone green livery. It was withdrawn in 2008 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
