Throwback Thursday (334)
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1996 and KD 335 inside Ringsend Garage. This bus is surrounded by fellow members of the KD Class, the first of which were delivered in 1981. KD 335 itself was delivered new to CIE in 1983, near the end of the KD deliveries. When this picture was taken a few dozen of the class had already been withdrawn by Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann. KD 335 would make it to the end of the type working in Dublin, being withdrawn around 1999/2000.
The bus is dressed for route 65B. This route started operating between the city centre and Killinarden around 1984. In 1998 it was extended west to Citywest and it still operates to there to this day.
Ringsend Garage opened in 1941, replacing another garage that was in Lime Street.
