Throwback Thursday (42)
This week it is a trip back in time to 2010 and to a scene long gone. AW 19 is seen in the company of AW 17 at the bus terminus in UCD Belfield. It is about to work back to Dublin as a 10C. The two buses are part of a twenty-strong fleet of bendi-buses Dublin Bus got in 2000. The buses were not a success in Dublin and within four months of this photograph being taken were in store in Harristown Garage. They spent their last few years there, mainly working on the 4. They were part of the Harristown fleet when this picture was taken but prior to that they spent time in Phibsboro and were regulars on the 10.
The route 10 only last ten more days after this photograph was taken before being removed from the network.
Finally a few years ago this bus terminus was relocated to a spot behind where the buses are, and this location is now a lake. All this change within the last six years. 20/10/2010
