Throwback Thursday (520)
This week we are going back thirteen years to 2013, and to AV 114 at the route 14 terminus on Maryfield Drive.
Route 14 started running as a bus route between the city centre and Dartry in 1948. In 1953 it was extended on the northside to Annamoe Road and in 1955 it reached the Phoenix Park. In the same year it was extended to Churchtown. Around 1988 it was cut back on the northside to terminate once more in the city centre. In 1995 it reached Ballinteer and a decade later it was extended to Dundrum. In 2011, under Network Direct, it was merged with route 20B and was extended on the northside to terminate here on Maryfield Drive (although the buses and timetables use Ardlea Road as a destination).
AV 114 was new to Dublin Bus in the year 2000. It was withdrawn in 2015, and sold on to an operator in Scotland.
