Dublin Bus is a direct descendant of the Dublin United Tramways Company that started operating buses in 1925, starting with Route 43 on this day 100 years ago, and opening their first bus depot in Summerhill that same month. The vintage parade was led by a Leyland R1, Dublin's first double-decker, which saw service in the capital from 1937 until 1956 - restored and maintained by the volunteer led National Transport Museum. Bob Laird, treasurer and historian at the museum, said he and the team were delighted with the role that their vintage buses could play in the event.
