Throwback Thursday (233)
This week are going back to 1988 and to KD 85 at Donabate railway station. It is displaying route 33B although it may be on the 33C, although both routes were very closely related. The 33B connected the city centre with Portrane via Swords and Donabate. Overtime the city centre connection was reduced, with only two services from Dublin and four services to Dublin in 1988. Most departures went to / from Swords. By the early 2000s the route was solely confined to Swords to Portrane via Donabate. In 2018 the route transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland.
Route 33C ran between Donabate Station to Portrane Hospital. It was removed from the network at the same time as the 33B was cut back to Swords. The 33B was also diverted to serve Portrane Hospital.
KD 85 was delivered new to Dublin in 1982. It was destroyed in a fire by vandals at Skerries station in 1989. 25/06/1988
