Throwback Thursday (482)
This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012, and to RV 621 departing Blackrock with a service on route 17 to Dolphin's Barn.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971. Around 1982 its western terminus became Rialto. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2016, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased in November 2023 when Bus Connects brought in new orbital routes on the southside. Route 17 was partially replaced by route S6
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in November 2012.
