Throwback Thursday (85)
This week we are throwing back to a throwback! In 2011, Dublin Bus was still undertaking the Network Direct re-organisation of the bus network in the capital. In August of that year it made its presence known to routes 19 and 19A. These were considered some of the premier routes in the city, up there with the 3, 10 and 46A. However Network Direct took no prisoners and the 19 from Jamestown Road to Bulfin Road was abolished and the 19A from Jamestown Road to Limekiln Avenue regenerated into the 9. The last day of both routes was Saturday 27th August, but on the Wednesday before a special run was organised with preserved Leyland Olympian RH 7. It is seen here at the Bulfin Road terminus of the 19 before heading cross city to Finglas.
Incidentally, this was also the day Steve Jobs resigned from Apple. 24/08/2011
