Throwback Thursday (112)
It's 1997 and threre is some contrast on the streets of Dublin. KD 218 is seen loading up on Abbey Street with a 39 to Clonsilla. The route had transitioned to CitySwit operation in 1993 and was replaced by single-deckers operating a high-frequency timetable. Some of them can be seen behind the KD. Due to the increase demand on this route Dublin Bus did get some new Olympian double-deckers branded for CitySwift from 1996 on, so it is somewhat unusual to see the much older KD on the route in 1997. This bus had been delivered between 1982/83 and was coming near the end of its career at this point.
In 2018 no buses terminate on this part of Abbey Street and the 39 runs from Burlington Road to Ongar. 01/03/1997
