Throwback Thursday (470)
This week we are going back forty-three years to 1982, but staying in Marlborough Street, to see a parked D 629 between duties on route 30.
Route 30 started operating between the city centre and Dollymount, going via Fairview and Clontarf, in 1938. In 1996, it and route 44A were replaced by new route 130, operated by City Imp minibuses.
D 629 was new to CIE in 1975. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1992, and was sold on for scrap.
The ad on the side of the bus is for Dingos Jeans, an Irish brand set up in the 1970s.
This side of Marlborough Street is now home to the tram tracks of the southbound Luas Green Line.
