Throwback Thursday (155)
A festive Throwback Thursday from 1985. KD 90 is seen parked in the yard at Skerries Station. It is dressed for route 33 and the picture is taken on Christmas Day.
It has hard to imagine now, but up until the early 1980s there were bus services provided for part of Christmas Day. No doubt the main impetus was to bring people to and from church, but it also allowed people to travel around the city and visit friends or relatives.
At the time this photograph was taken, KD 90 was about four years old. Although the 33 was operated out of Summerhill Garage, close to Dublin City Centre, there was an outstation here at Skerries for a few buses. This meant buses could start or finish here and not have to run empty back to Dublin, 35 kilometres away.
The ad on the side of the bus is for CDL coal distributors. These were taken over by Bord na Mona in 1995.
