Throwback Thursday (371)
This week we are going thirty-nine years to 1984 and KC 12 on Ormond Quay. The bus is dressed for route 70 to Dunboyne. The Dublin United Tramways Company started operating this route in 1934. It passed to CIE in 1945 and Dublin Bus in 1987, and hasn't really changed much over the years (apart from by-passing Blanchardstown). It is one of the few Dublin city services that goes beyond the city and county of Dublin. Dunboyne, in County Meath, is just under 20kms from Dublin city centre.
KC 12 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 2000.
