Throwback Thursday (508)
This week we are going back twelve years to 2013, and to GT 125 on Hawkins Street dressed for route 68.
The DUTC started operating the route in 1934. The 68 runs from the city centre to Newcastle (in west Dublin), going via Clondalkin. In 2006 it was extended slightly further to the Greenogue Business Park at the southern end of Newcastle. In 2011 it was slightly modified under Network Direct to go via Bulfin Road as a partial replacement for route 19.
GT 125 was new to Dublin Bus in 2013. In 2018 it migrated to Go-Ahead Ireland and became 11907.
Beside the bus is the former Department of Health, which was located in Hawkins House. It was demolished in 2021, and the site is being redeveloped.
