Throwback Thursday (307)
This week we are going back to 1985 and D 723 on Marlborough Street. This VanHool McArdle AN68 bus was delivered new to CIE in 1974. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994.
Route 28 started operating between the city centre and Edenmore in 1965. Another version of the route operated between 1938 and 1963, terminating in the Fairview / Clontarf area. The Edenmore route stopped in 1996 when it was replaced by routes 42A and 42B.
The Dolphin's Discs shop is beside the bus. This music shop had a number of outlets around the city, including two of them just around the corner on Talbot Street. The final shop closed in 2012.
This part of Marlborough Street is now home to the tram tracks of the Luas Green Line.
