Throwback Thursday (133)
July 1989 is much more grey than July 2018, but the former is probably a more typical Irish summer than the latter. D 822 does brighten things up a bit. It is seen passing the Bank of Ireland and Trinity College in College Green as it operates a 13 to Palmerston Park from Ballymun. The route commenced to Ballymun in the late 1970s, extended to Palmerston Park in the 1980s, and lasted until 2011. Under Network Direct the route was merged with the 51s and became a cross-city route from Ballymun to Grange Castle via Drumcondra, Inchicore and Clondalkin. The route now travels down Dame Street from College Green rather than Grafton Street as in this photo.
The bus is in an all-over ad for the The Irish Cancer Society. The bus is promoting their support services.
D 822 entered service in 1976 and was withdrawn in 1994 when it was sold for scrap. 27/07/1989
