"The WicklowBus Service"
DublinBus (Donnybrook) SG229
This update starts in Co.Wicklow, but covers a selection of South Dublin routes!
Starting off here with DublinBus SG229, it is noted here in Enniskerry Village operating a 185 from Enniskerry to Bray. Enniskerry is a small, rural village in the Wicklow mountains just south of County Dublin, and is served by two bus routes- the 44 which serves Kiltiernan and Dundrum on its way into the city centre, before snaking northside up through Drumcondra to DCU, and the 185 to Bray.
The 185 is an interesting route, being operated by DublinBus yet not actually operating within either Dublin City or Dublin County. It is of further interest due to its timetable- it operates hourly from Enniskerry, with several different route and terminus variations in between. Additionally, it also has one of the latest departure times on the network- most final buses leave their terminus' at 2330, a 185 leaves Enniskerry at 2345. The only other later example that comes to mind is the 0020 departure of the 65 from Blessington on the weekends, but no doubt there are some others!
SG229 is noted here in Enniskerry operating the 0915 185 exShopRiver. The 44 terminates where I was standing, and offers a very scenic backdrop. A photo was not possible on this day however due to a van blocking the front of the bus, so I decided to leave that photo for another day. I will however return to the 44 later in this update and in the next.
