Throwback Thursday (332)
This week we are going back eight years to 2014 and Dublin Bus GT 39 at Sutton Station. This bus is waiting to depart with a service on route 102 to Dublin Airport. This route started operating in 1986 between Malahide and Sutton. It was one of the new DART Feeder services introduced around that time to connect people with the new suburban rail service. In 2008 it was extended from Malahide to Dublin Airport when it merged with route 230. Then in December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over operation of the route.
GT 39 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2012. It was part of the first batch of GT Class buses delivered to Dublin Bus, the first type of bus since 1999 to be delivered with front and middle doors. In total 160 of these buses were delivered to Dublin Bus, but 12 subsequently transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 39 was not one of them.
