Throwback Thursday (84)
For our 84th Throwback Thursday we are going back to 1984 and a sad sight. The remains of KD 317 are seen in the yard at Donabate Station after being the victim of an arson attack. The bus was based in Summerhill Garage and was new there in 1983, therefore having a very short life. Donabate at the time was served by routes 33B and 33C which also served Portrane. The 33B connected Portrane and Donabate with the City Centre while the 33C ran between Swords/Donabate and Portrane. Today there is one departure each way Monday - Friday between Portrane/Donabate and the City Centre with the 33D, and a regular service between Portrane/Donabate and Swords on the 33B. Last week though it was announced that from late 2018 or early 2019, the 33B will no longer be operated by Dublin Bus, but rather Go-Ahead. We live in interesting times. Donabate, 16/08/1984
