Former Summerhill RH 130 joins the City Tour fleet.
Following withdrawal of Summerhill's 1992 batch of Olympians RH 126- 137 & sale to Ensignbus, RH 130 was retrieved & retained by Dublin Bus. This Summerhill batch was well maintained & following sale to Ensignbus, UK operators & Dualway snapped up most of the batch.
Following conversion to open top format by Louth Commercials & respray by Freeneys, RH 130 ( 92 D 130 ) reentered services in the City Tour fleet in August 2006
