Throwback Thursday (45)
Slightly different Throwback Thursday this week as we are commemorating the end of a route. On Friday 11th November 2016 the 8 will run for the final time as part of changes to bus routes in the Dun Laoghaire. This is not the first time Dublin Bus has tried to get rid of the 8. An attempt was made in 2001 but thanks to a successful European Court case it returned in 2005. But this time in 2016 it will be the last run of the 8. The 8 also holds the distinction of being the last tram route to run in Dublin, back in 1949
RH 45 is seen at the Eden Quay terminus of the route 24 years ago. The bus is in an all-over ad for the First National Building Society. 22/11/1992
