Throwback Thursday (65)
This week we are hoping back to 1995 and an unusual sight in Balbriggan, north County Dublin. Over the course of this particular week or so Irish Rail replaced the County Bridge over the railway line on the southern side of the town. This bridge carried the main road from Skerries to Balbriggan, and is used by the 33. With the road shut, the diversionary route had to be used. This brought the traffic under the railway viaduct near the harbour. However that particular arch could not take the usual double-deckers that operated the route. Nor could some of the diversionary roads. Dublin Bus resolved this issue by putting a KC single decker on a shuttle service between Balbriggan and Skerries, where it met the regular 33 service. This brought the unusual sight of a Dublin Bus single-decker to Balbriggan. KC 30 is seen here just after passing under the railway viaduct in Balbriggan . 02/04/1995
