RV532 is seen here in Broadstone on Sunday 15 September 2002. This bus along with RV544 are on loan at the moment from Dublin Bus to Bus Éireann. These are being used on commuter services out of Dublin. They have been on loan since late July this year. They were only meant to be on loan for one month but are still with Bus Éireann. And just to be nice here is a pic of RV544 the other bus on loan to Bus Éireann below.

Pictured in Broadstone on Sunday 15 September 2002. This bus was withdrawn on 10 June 2002 as part of the withdrawl of all 90-D Leyland Olympians in the RH1-59 series, except tour buses and driver trainers, as part of Dublin Bus' withdrawl of all vehicles over 12 year. It was sent to Louth Commercials to be converted to a tree lopper so as to replace D635 in the role. It returned in mid August and entered service in its new role on 25 August 2002. Note that a flashing orange light has been placed where the rear dmd used to be.
