Interior upper saloon view of RH 131 which the traditional green trim which dated back to the introduction of the Bombardier KD class in 1982. Unlike the KD/ KC class, the interior boards were laminated & easier to keep clean. This green interior lasted until the arrival of RH 154 to Clontarf in 1993 when green was replaced by a lime blue colour with grey seating.
RH 131 seen on O' Connell Street at the main Marino bound stop at Penney's / Eason's. The 123 has one of most prestigious City Centre routings & stops, along Dublin's main thoroughfare O' Connell Street, D' Olier Street & Dame Street. Dublin's O' Connell Street is currently being redeveloped however the 2 lane layout can soon snarl up when buses pull in at their stops & the cycle lane on the outside as can be seen above is foolish.
Finally, a rear view of RH 131 at Marino. This stop used to offer a convenient pull in for waiting buses before some genius decided to build the stop alongside the main road corridor. The same creative madness can be seen right down Griffith Avenue as far as Philipsburgh Avenue as this leafy avenue has been destroyed by red paint & white lines. Over at the terminus, RV 636 can be seen peeping out, one of the last ever Olympians delivered to Dublin Bus & indeed Olympians ever built.
