Throwback Thursday (110)

It's 1983 and D 279 is seen at the 62 terminus in Kilmacud (or is it Stillorgan?). This terminus is located just off the Lower Kilmacud Road, but is just behind the Stillorgan Shopping Centre. However the route more appropriately served the Kilmacud area, so the destination on the front of the bus is probably the right choice. A number of routes have terminated over the years, the 52, 62, 64, 64A, 46B and most recently the 11. With the rerouting of the 11 to Sandyford Business District during Network Direct, this terminus is no longer used, but the 47 and 75 still serve the Lower Kilmacud Road.

The 62 operated from the City Centre to here via Ranelagh, Clonskeagh and Goatstown, and ceased in 1999 when it was merged with the 11.

D 279 entered service in 1969 and was withdrawn in 1985. 17/02/1983
