Throwback Thursday (221)
It is 1984 and KC 14 is seen at the 80 terminus on Ormond Quay. This route can trace its history back to the DUTC and even before that. The route ran from the city centre to Clonsilla via Castleknock and Luttrellstown. As the 39 provided a more direct route to Clonsilla, Luttrellstown was often used as the destination on the bus. In 1984 the route was run out of Conyngham Road Garage and ran Monday to Saturday. The route was withdrawn in 1993 when CitySwift started on route 39. By then the 80 was departing from Middle Abbey Street along with the other Navan Road routes. The routing of the 80 has mostly been replaced by a combination of the 37 and 239.
KC 14 was delivered new to Dublin in October 1983.
The building beside the bus was for years the Zanzibar and then Bondi Beach night clubs. With a prime location beside the Ha'penny Bridge, it is now being turned into a hotel. 01/04/1984
