Throwback Thursday (308)
Going back eleven years this week to a snow covered UCD Belfield. AV 139 is seen arriving with a service on peak-only Xpresso route 66X. This route started around 1989 as a CitySpeed route between Maynooth or Leixlip and the city centre. Around 2000 it was extended to the college UCD Belfield, and was rebranded as Xpresso. For a period in the 1990s the route operated throughout the day as an express route between Middle Abbey Street and Maynooth. In 2021 the route ceased under Bus Connects when it was replaced by new express peak-only routes X25 and X26.
AV 139 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2014 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
December 2010 was probably one of the whitest December's in Ireland in more recent times. 01/12/2010
