Throwback Thursday (296)
This week are going back nine short years to 2012 and Dublin Bus AX 478 on Fleet Street with a service on route 77X to UCD Belfield. The 77X is one of the more unusual / rare routes in Dublin, in that it currently runs once a day, in one direction, Monday to Friday. This Xpresso route started in the. mid-1990s, initially running between Westbrook Lawns in Citywest and the City Centre. Back then the route ran in both directions, in the morning and evening peak. In 2000 it was extended to UCD Belfield via the City Centre. In 2009 the return workings were dropped, resulting in the route only operating in the morning peak to UCD Belfield from Citywest.
AX 478 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2009. It is currently the oldest AX still in service with Dublin Bus, though it will probably be withdrawn within the next few months. It has spent all its life in Ringsend Garage.
