Throwback Thursday (450)
This week we are going back eleven years to AX 471 on Adelaide Road with a service on route 15 to Ballycullen Road.
Route 15 started running between the city centre and Hazelbrook Road in 1948. it ceased to operate in 1964, but returned in 1988, running to Scholarstown Road. In 2011 it was merged with route 128 under Network Direct, becoming a cross-city route from Clongriffin to Stocking Avenue. In 2012 the terminus was moved from Stocking Avenue to Ballycullen Road.
AX 471 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2019 and sold on to another operator.
Adelaide Road used to be a busy road for bus routes, such as the 14, 15, 15A, 15B, 44, 61, 140 and 142. In January 2015 these routes (except the 44 and 61) were diverted away from Adelaide Road, going via Dame Street and George's Street instead.
