Throwback Thursday (387)
This week we are going back six years to 2017 and AX 523 in Parnell Square on route 7A. The bus is in a special livery for Dublin Pride. Although Dublin Bus had been a supporter of Dublin LGBTQ Pride for a number of years, this was the first year a bus received a special livery to mark the occasion. In 2018 three buses were done up, as were three other buses in 2019. Covid-19 saw nothing happening in 2020, and in 2021 Go-Ahead Ireland wrapped a bus up which is still around today.
Route 7A to Loughlinstown Park started in 2016 when the two branches of route 7 were given their own route numbers. Traditionally the 7 went to Loughlinstown Park, but it was decided instead to assign that number to the Brides Glen variation of the route.
AX 523 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn around 2019 and sold on to an operator in the UK.
