Shinkansen Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice, I remember when the Imp's first came to Waterford. Rich, Took the Imp many times in and out of WIT back in the day. Mostly on wet days when the bike stayed home or when I slept in and was late for lectures! Not today nor yesterday. Great venture guys, good to see it in model form.

GM071 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi All, Could anyone tell us what bus destinations and numbers did the IMP run on ? Any feeder ones to train stations ? Cheers GM071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 From memory, the 123 cross town from Marino to St. James, and onto Drimnagh. I believe the route is unchanged. There were a few more in the three digit range, but I didn't use them. Don't ever recall any imps sitting outside Heuston ever, 'twas always double deckers back then. The imp used to sit around town selling tickets for the nitelink up on westmoreland street for a while also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1701 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) The imp type buses never went near Heuston or Connolly stations unless on a special or overtime too small for the volume of traffic, I could be wrong however, can't speak for other depots. but I know they did service Bray and Greystones train stations on the 184 and 185 and 145 when it was only local route, but where a different livery localink, until the full imp livery took hold. I do remember a imp hotel shuttle from Connelly and busaras it only lasted a couple of months it was servicing the airport express busses from and too the airport. hope that helps a little.

dave182 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As a Drimnagh man if memory serves me right the imps were on routes 121,122 and 123. All terminated on the Drimnagh Road outside Crumlin Hospital, and at peak times there could be 7 or 8 IMPs all battling for space! They also ran on route 150, and was there a 155 route aswell? As a child it was getting the 123 down to Ballybough to visit the Granny and catching a glimpse of a freight train when there used to be regular shunting between Hueston and North Wall! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
