Throwback Thursday (282)

This week we are going back to 1983 and KD 168 in Dun Laoghaire. The bus is operating a service on route 46A to Dublin city centre. The route started in 1926, running between the city centre and Cabinteely. By 1933 it reached Goatstown and in 1936 it got to Dun Laoghaire, where it has remained to this day. In 1996 the route under went the City Swift transformation, and with the opening of the Stillorgan QBC in 1999, the route became one of the most frequent in Dublin. It is seen as the "premiere" route of Dublin Bus.

KD 168 was delivered new to CIE in 1982. Around 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus. 04/06/1983
