Throwback Thursday (513)
This week we are going back twenty-nine years to 1997 and to KD 12 parked on Abbey Street, dressed for route 42B.
CIE started operating route 42B between the city centre and Harmonstown in 1958. Around 1982 the 42B was extended to terminate on Blunden Drive. The route ceased to operate in 2011 when it was replaced by route 27A under Network Direct.
KD 12 was new to CIE in 1981. By 1999 it had been withdrawn by Dublin Bus.
The bus is seen parked on Lower Abbey Street. This was the street the 42B operated from, but the replacement route 27A currently goes from Eden Quay. The bus stop seen here is currently served by routes 33, 33E, 41, 41B and 41C.
