Throwback Thursday (299)
This week we are going back thirty-eight years to KD 237 at Dublin Airport on route 41 to Dublin city centre. Route 41 started operating between Dublin and Swords in 1926, and still does so today in 2021. It has had a number of different terminus in Swords over the years, but the most recent one at Swords Manor has been in use since 1998. The route has also continuously served Dublin Airport since the 1940s. In December 2019 the 41 and the 15 became the first two Dublin Bus routes to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
KD 237 was delivered new to CIE in 1982. It remained in service right up to 2000 when the last Bombardiers were withdrawn in Dublin. It spent all its working life in Summerhill Garage.
Buses no longer serve this upper ramp in Dublin Airport, instead the 41 serves a bus stop that is roughly where the trees by the church are in the background.
