Throwback Thursday (463)
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to Christmas Day 1985, and to KD 82 parked at Skerries Station.
The bus is dressed for route 33. CIE took over operation of this route from the GNR(I) in 1958, and it is still operated by Dublin Bus to this day. The route connects the city centre with Skerries, going via Swords, Lusk and Rush. Certain departures are extended to / from Balbriggan, and it is the most northerly route in the Dublin city network. Buses are also still left overnight at the shed in Skerries.
KD 82 was new to Dublin Bus in June 1984. It was still in service with Dublin Bus in June 1996, but had been withdrawn by October 1997.
