Throwback Thursday (363)
This week we are going back fourteen years to 2009 and AV 264 in Parnell Square. The bus is operating a service on route 5 to Sandyford Industrial Estate. This route started operating between the City Centre and Kilmacud in 1952. In the mid-1970s its terminus was moved to the junction of Lakelands Avenue / Upper Kilmacud Road. In 1987 it was extended to Sandyford industrial Estate but in 2011 the route was withdrawn from the network. Throughout its entire existence, the route operated via The Rock Road and Ballsbridge.
AV 264 was new to Dublin Bus in 2002. It was withdrawn in 2016 and sold on to another Irish operator. In 2023 it is still in service with Airside Coaches.
