Throwback Thursday (113)
It is the year 2000 and GAC Bombardier KC 197 is still in service, but not for much longer. The bus entered service in 1982 five years before Dublin Bus was incepted, and eight months later all Bombardier buses had been withdrawn by Dublin Bus.
KC 197 operated out of Clontarf Garage and is seen here operating route 53. This is one of the shorter routes in Dublin, operating from the City Centre to Dublin Port via East Wall. Journey time is under half an hour. The bus is seen here at a terminus on Abbey Street. The bus stop has the 51A on it, and the 53 traditionally operated from Beresford Place. Today the route goes from Talbot Street, and this terminus is used by the 33, 41/A/B/C. Abbey Street, 07/03/2000
