Summary

Description

Has this woman chosen the slower mode of transport to get to Dublin Airport? We had no idea where in Dublin this photo was taken, but knew it must have been fairly central because of the style of lamp post in the background. Slow Loose Chippings, billh35, and especially mogey put in the legwork to prove that this photo was taken in Store Street, Dublin (near Busáras) - thanks one and all!

Delighted also with this fantastic technical information on the bus from billh35: "Delivered in 1953 to CIE were six of these double deck coaches, numbered R541 to R546. They were Leyland OPD2/1's with bodies built by CIE. These were very stylishly finished vehicles, for the express service to Dublin Airport. They had centre entrance and staircase, seating for 50 and a large walk in luggage compartment behind the back axle. After 11 years on the airport service, they were converted to half cab rear platform buses. An example R541 (ZO 6960) is preserved."

Date: September 1961
