Throwback Thursday (475)
This week we are going back thirty years to 1995 and to P 39 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 10 to UCD Belfield.
Buses started operating on route 10 between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook in 1940. In 1970 the route reached the Belfield campus of University College Dublin (UCD). Network Direct saw the end of the route in 2010. It was replaced on the southside by route 39A, and on the northside by route 46A.
P 39 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was one of the early CitySwift buses, with the first batch arriving in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2003, and joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Limerick. It was withdrawn around 2014.
Although P 39 was a CitySwift bus, route 10 was not a CitySwift route.
