Throwback Thursday (352)
This week we are going back four years to 2018 and SG 115 in a wet Dun Laoghaire on route 111. This was during an interesting time, and one of great change, in Dun Laoghaire. On the 7th October (six days before this photo was taken), Go-Ahead Ireland had taken over the operation of routes 45A, 59, 63 and 75 from Dublin Bus. These covered all the local / orbital routes in the Dun Laoghaire, except for the 111 (which ran from Dalkey to Bride's Glen). It did not move over until the 21st October (eight days after this photograph was taken), when Go-Ahead Ireland also took over the local routes in Bray. Therefore this picture was taken during a two-week window when Dublin Bus was still operating one local route in Dun Laoghaire. From the 21st October on, the only Dublin Bus routes in Dun Laoghaire were the 7, 7A and 46A.
Route 111 started in 1986 as a DART Feeder service between Loughlinstown and Dun Laoghaire. In 2016 it was radically redrawn with it running from Bride's Glen Luas to Dalkey via Loughlinstown, Sallynoggin, Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove.
SG 115 was new to Dublin Bus in 2015 and is still in operation today at Donnybrook Garage.
