Throwback Thursday (409)
This week we are going back ten years to 2013 and AX 491 on Fleet Street. The bus is at the terminus for route 150 and is dressed for a service on that route to Rossmore. This route started around 1994 as one of the City Imp routes introduced in the mid-1990s. It replaced route 50 to Willington Roundabout, operating a higher frequency and using minibuses. After the year 2000, bigger buses started to be used on the route, ending up with double-deckers as seen here. In 2017 the terminus moved from Fleet Street (as seen here) to Hawkins Street, where it still operates from today.
AX 491 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006 and was withdrawn in 2021.
