Throwback Thursday (228)
KD 361 is seen enjoying the sun on Eden Quay as it rests between duties on route 7 in 1990.
The bus is in an all-over ad for B&I Line, and the ferry services they offer between Dublin/Holyhead and Rosslare/Pembroke. B&I Line started life as the British and Irish Steam Packet Company in 1836. In 1965 it was nationalised by the Irish government, but was privatised again in 1992 when it was taken over by the Irish Continental Group, who also own Irish Ferries. This latter brand is the one that survives to this day, with the B&I name phased out by 1995.
KD 361 was delivered new to Dublin in July 1983 and was withdrawn in 1999. During its time in this all-over ad it visited Cork.
Route 7 connected Eden Quay with Loughlinstown Park, via Dun Laoghaire in 1990.
The skyline in the background is almost unrecognisable now in 2020, with multi-storey developments in the Tara Street area having taken place in the intervening thirty years. 21/05/1990
