This week we go back twenty-three years to 2002 and to MV 65 partially dressed for route 134 on Abbey Street.
Route 134 was a City Imp route that started in 1995. It ran between the city centre and McKelvey Avenue in Finglas, going via Church Street and Glasnevin. It was a replacement for route 34, but it itself was replaced around 2003 when it was merged into route 83 (the first City Imp route). The new cross-city route ran from Kimmage to Finglas.
MV 65 was one of twenty-five MV Class minibuses new to Dublin Bus between 1997 and 1998. They were a follow-on to the ME Class. They were withdrawn from service around 2004 / 2005.
This side of Abbey Street is now home to the tram tracks of the Luas Red Line.

This week we are going back twenty-one years to 2003 and MV 77 at the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. The bus is dressed for route 270.
This route started operating between Dunboyne and the shopping centre, going via Littlepace, in September 2000. It has remained pretty consistent since then. Only major changes were in 2006 when the bus stops at the Blanchardstown Centre were relocated, and in 2019 when Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operating of the route.
MV 77 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. Between 1997 and 1998, Dublin Bus received 25 MV-Class minibuses, the last minibus fleet delivered to the company. The following year would see the WV-Class midibuses start to arrive. MV 77 was withdrawn around the end of 2006, and was subsequently sold on to another Irish operator. It did around another decade in service during its second life.
Although the bus is in City Imp livery, neither route 270 nor any other of the local Blanchardtsown routes were City Imp routes.
