Throwback Thursday (167)
It is 1995 and the 20B is making its presence known on Marlborough Street. D 689 is seen displaying an outbound working to Ardlea Road, while behind it is a KD on an inbound working to the City Centre. This route served the northern suburbs of Fairview, Donnycarney and Beaumont. The 20B was once just one route that served these areas, along with the 20 and 20A. However over the years these routes fell by the wayside and the 20B outlived them all until 2011 when it was merged with the 14. This created a new cross-city route from Beaumont to Dundrum.
D 689 had a long career in Dublin. It was delivered new to CIE in 1975 and was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the summer of 1996.
Beside the bus is the offices of Church and General Insurance. This was rebranded in 1999 as Allianz. Finally, the location where the bus is parked became the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line in 2017. 20/03/1995
