Throwback Thursday (63)
A brief hop back to 2013 this week. This was a time just before Luas Cross City works came to O'Connell Street and started to alter the main thoroughfare in the capital. Where the bin is located there are now Luas tracks, with the first tram due to pass here in three months time. The bus, AX 545 is part of the Wedding Bus fleet which is currently being phased out and absorbed back into the standard fleet. Thus the bus will lose some of uniqueness. This bus, based in Donnybrook, was part of a pretty unique sequence with AX 542 and 543 part of the Coastal Tour fleet and 544 becoming the 1916 bus in 2016. Unlike in the picture, AX 545 now has a LED destination display rather than the DMD shown here. I am not sure if this destination is still possible on the bus... O'Connell Street. 23/03/2013
