Throwback Thursday (339)
This week we are going thirteen years to 2009 and WV 45 crossing O’Connell Bridge on route 63 to Mountjoy Square. The DUTC started operating this route between the city centre and Carrickmines in 1934. In 1955 it also started serving Glenamuck, and around 1986 it was extended to Kilternan. In 2010 the route was cut back from the city centre to Dun Laoghaire, becoming just a local route. In 2018 Go-Ahead Ireland took over running route 63 between Dun Laoghaire and Kilternan.
WV 45 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2001. It was one of fifty-two midi-buses delivered from Wrights between 1999 and 2001. It was withdrawn in 2012 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
