Well done GNR 302 for spotting my deliberate mistake regarding R642, that was just to ensure that you were paying attention! Your knowledge of transfers between garages and indeed cities is unsurpassed and in this case really does confirm the date.

Billy 563, have a look at the rear of the 2nd RA at the Pillar...........you will see the CIÉ information kiosk just peeking out, it was painted brown and cream and was coincidentally retired the very same night as the Pillar itself!
That is an excellent point regarding the pink van, but I am sure you can understand why I was sceptical! Those were the days of Pink paraffin and also Esso Blue, ("it burned without a smell" according to the seriously incorrect slogan!).

The more I look at these postcards, the more I agree that Dublin's buses should always be green, except those operating to the north-east of the City of course.
