Throwback Thursday (490)
This week we are going back nine years to 2016 (the year this series started) and to EV 49 at the station in Skerries with a service on route 33 to Balbriggan.
CIE started operating route 33 between the city centre and Skerries in 1958, when they took over the route from the Great Northern Railway (Ireland). The 33 went via Swords, Lusk and Rush. Certain departures on the route operated to Balbriggan, and the route basically operates the same today.
Some buses were, and still are, parked overnight at the railway station in Skerries. This is evidenced here by the shed in the background and SG 106 parked beside it. Driver changes can also happen here, which is why EV 49 is at the station. Most services on the 33 do not serve the station directly like this.
EV 49 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007. In 2017 it joined the DoDublin Tour, operated by Dublin Bus, and became an open-top bus.
SG 106 was new to Dublin Bus in 2015, and is still in service today.
