Throwback Thursday (426)
This week we go back forty years to 1984 and KC 75 at the route 27A terminus on Gardiner Street.
Route 27A started running between the city centre and Kilmore in 1967. It reached Coolock around 1983, and Beaumont Hospital in 1988. The route ceased to operate in 1996 when changes took place to route 27. However, it returned to the network in 2011 when it replaced route 42B under Network Direct. This new route operated from the city centre to Blunden Drive via Harmonstown.
KC 75 was new to CIE in March 1984, about three weeks before this photograph was taken. It remained in service until around the year 2000 when it was withdrawn. Although it spent most of its working life in Clontarf Garage, its final years were spent in Donnybrook Garage.
