Throwback Thursday (49)
KD 338 is seen parked just off Abbey Street and off Strand Street in Dublin 1. This was a parking area used by buses of many routes. Examples in this shot include routes 67, 50 and 34A which KD 338 is on. This route operated from Middle Abbey Street to Finglas.
In the mid-1990s as the Celtic Tiger roared into life, most of the area around this location was redeveloped. In the early 2000s Dublin Bus moved out due to Luas Red Line construction. Over the years there have been notions and ideas about building a bus station here, but even now in 2016 the place is empty and derelict.
The ad on the side of the bus is worth noting through I admit to having no idea as to what it is for. 09/12/1988
