Throwback Thursday (344)
This week we are going back fourteen years to WV 52 on D'Olier Street. The bus is operating a service on route 3 from Larkhill to UCD Belfield. This route started operating between Whitehall and Sandymount Tower in 1940. In 1972 it was extended to St. John's Church, near Sydney Parade. From around 1990, certain departures were extended to / from UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012 when it was mostly replaced by new route 1 under Network Direct, with Larkhill being served by route 44.
WV 52 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2001. It was the final member of the WV-Class. It was also one of the last WV Class buses to operate with Dublin Bus, being replaced by the newer WS Class in December 2017.
