Throwback Thursday (313)
This week we are throwing back thirteen years to 2009 and AV 238 on route 42A to Beaumont Hospital. This route started operating between the city centre and Kinsealy / Malahide in 1926. In 1953 it was cut back to Coolock and soon after to Harmonstown. In the late-1980s it moved terminus to Blunden Drive and finally in 2005 to Beaumont Hospital. The route ceased to be in 2011 under Network Direct changes.
AV 238 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2002. It was withdrawn in 2016 and sold on to an operator in the UK. This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.
