Throwback Thursday (491)
This week we are going back thirty-three years to KC 50 at the route 76A terminus in Blakestown.
Route 76A started operating between Tallaght and Blanchardstown Hospital around 1989. In late-1990 it was extended to Blakestown, while the southern terminus was moved to The Square in Tallaght. In 1996 the northern terminus was changed to the Blanchardstown Centre. At the same time Fettercairn or Balrothery became the southern terminus for different departures, and remained so for about 15 years. In 2019 Dublin Bus transferred the route to Go-Ahead Ireland. The route ceased to operate in November 2023. It was partially replaced by routes W2 and W4 under Bus Connects.
KC 50 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1999.
