Throwback Thursday (436)
This week we are going back thirty-two years to 1992 and to D 703 parked on Marlborough Street. The bus is dressed for route 20A to Donnycarney North.
Route 20A started running between the city centre and Donnycarney North in 1948, going via Fairview and Malahide Road. It ceased to operate in 1999 when it was partially replaced by route 42A. In its final years the route was very infrequent.
D 703 was new to CIE in 1975 and was initially based in Cork (as seen here: flic.kr/p/2nkSMqk). It migrated to Dublin in 1988 and was withdrawn in 1994.
This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.
Sadolin Varnish is still being sold.
