Throwback Thursday (478)
This week we are going back sixteen years to 2009, and to AV 134 in Donnybrook arriving with a service on route 47 from Belarmine.
The modern route 47 started running between Donnybrook Church and Belarmine in 2008. It operated via Sandyford with the intention of providing a connection between the Luas tram system and the new development in Belarmine near Stepaside. In 2010 it was extended into the city centre as part of Network Direct, going via Ballsbridge, and acting as partial replacements for routes 46B, 63 and 84. In 2012 it was rerouted again under Network Direct, this time reaching the city centre via Nutley Lane, Sandymount and Ringsend. This was a partial replacement for routes 2 and 3.
AV 134 was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn around 2013 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
