Throwback Thursday (286)
This week we are going back thirty-seven years to D 754 on Leeson Street with a service on route 13 to Ballymun. The 13 dates back to 1939 when it ran between Glasnevin and Beechwood Avenue. In 1948 the northern terminus relocated to Wadelai Park before reaching Ballymun in 1980. In 1985 the southern terminus moved to Palmerston Park, before relocating to Merrion Square in the 1990s. In October 2011, route 13 became a cross-city route under Network Direct, running from Harristown to Grange Castle. This new route combined the previous routes 13, 13A, 51B and 51C.
D 754 was delivered new to CIE in 1975 and was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994, having operated out of Donnybrook and Ringsend garages.
Finally the bus is in an all-over ad for the well-known sweets Smarties. 01/07/1984
