Throwback Thursday (471)
This week we are going back twelve years to 2013 and to AV 359 in Rialto, with a service on route 68A to Bulfin Road.
The original route 68A was in operation between 1994 and 1997, and ran between the city centre and Cherrywood in Clondalkin. The current route 68A, as seen here, started in 2011, running between the city centre and Bulfin Road going via the South Circular Road. It was designed to provide capacity on route 68 in the peaks between those two locations, following the end of route 19 under Network Direct. Currently in 2025 there are two departures from Bulfin Road during the weekday morning, and three departures from Hawkins Street during the weekday evening.
AV 359 was new to Dublin Bus in 2003. It was withdrawn in 2018 and was later sold on.
