Throwback Thursday (333)
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to KD 345 on Abbey Street. The bus is picking up passengers while operating a service on route 39 to Clonsilla. This route started operating between Dublin and Blanchardstown in 1926. By 982 it reached Clonsilla and in 2004 it was extended to Ongar. In 2010 it's city terminus was moved to Burlington Road. It's main claim to fame was becoming the first CitySwift route 1993, with its frequency massively increased.
KD 345 was delivered new to CIE in May 1983, shortly before this picture was taken. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s. It spent a period from 1988 in an all-over ad for Coca-Cola.
