Throwback Thursday (448)
This week we are going back twelve years to 2012 and to AX 484 on route 77X, passing through College Green.
Route 77X started in the mid-1990s as a CitySpeed route, running between Westbrook Lawns in Citywest, and the city centre (inbound in the morning and outbound in the evenings). From around 2001 some departures operated from Tallaght, others from Citywest, and the route was extended beyond the city centre to UCD Belfield. CitySpeed also became Xpresso around that time. In 2009 the route was reduced to one departure, operating in one direction only (from Citywest to UCD Belfield). The route remains the same today.
AX 484 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2019 and sold on to another Irish operator.
