Throwback Thursday (218)
This week we are going beyond Dublin to the County Kildare town of Celbridge. KD 53 is seen about to turn onto Main Street in Celbridge, from the Maynooth Road. It is operating a service on route 67 to the City Centre. This route used to terminate at the Salesian College to the west of Celbridge, towards Maynooth. Certain services continued on to Maynooth as the 67A. In 2010, under the Network Direct changes to the bus routes, both routes were combined into an extended 67 to Maynooth. 10 years on this is still the routing we have today.
KD 53 was delivered new to CIE in November 1981 and passed to Dublin Bus in 1987. It was built by Bombardier at their Shannon plant in County Clare. 15/03/1996
