Throwback Thursday (415)
This week we are going back eleven years to 2013 and to AX 526 on route 47 in Sandymount. The modern route 47 to Belarmine started in 2008, though the closest it got to the city centre was Donnybrook. In 2010 it was extended to the city centre, but it was not sent via Sandymount until 2012, when it partially replaced route 3 under Network Direct.
The bus is seen here on St. John's Road about to turn onto Strand Road. It, along with route 1, was rerouted away from here in 2021, with both routes sent along Park Avenue instead.
AX 526 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2021. 05/01/2013
