Dublin Bus RA Farewell Tour 3rd of August 2008

On the 3rd of August 2008, Dublin Bus bid farewell to their RA class Olympians (for use in regular service). Three buses left Dublin city centre & travelled to Dun Laoghaire on route 46A & returned to the city where they were then taken on route 14 to Dundrum & back to the city centre.The buses were RA 176 (Driver Trainer), RA 302 & RA 305. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a great day out.

Some of these buses are now in Halifax Joint Committee, a independent local bus company, in West Yorkshire.

I remember being on one, operating route 75 a few years ago. Can't say I miss them too much to be honest

Miss the RA's... there always have that sort of bus smell at the rear... These were always on Route 130
