Throwback Thursday (357)
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to 1983 and C 80 on Townsend Street. The bus is dressed for route 47B to Grange Road. This route started in 1949 but ceased in 1999, and ran via Whitechurch Estate. It, along with routes 47 and 47A, were replaced by a combination of routes 15C, 16, 116 and 161.
C 80 was new to CIE in 1965. In 1985 it transferred to Dundalk and joined the schools fleet. It was withdrawn in 1992 and scrapped by 1994.
