Funny thing is the route 16/16A goes nowhere near Dublin Zoo!
Cashing in on a very well known jingle used for years by Dublin Zoo, this very attractive all over advertising livery was worn by Summerhill based D699 for two years in the mid 1990,s Officially allocated to the 16s, it was generally to be found there.
The April 1985 image sees the bus heading south on the busy cross city route.
CIE policy at the time was to apply a new all over add to what ever bus happened to be going through the B.M.S (overhaul facility in the railway works) at the time. Some thought it would have been more appropiate to apply the livery to a Phibsboro based DF5XX, as these were generally allocated to the route 10 and did in fact go very close to Dublin Zoo!
Most irritatingly, throughout its entire time in Dublin Zoo livery, the destination scrolls were mismatched, in that 699 was one of the last with the old style block type. Consequently most condouctors could not be bothered putting up a display at all, white blank was the norm!!!

Tonight I finally got a chance to experiment with some steel wool!I have a few other ideas and locations that I hope to try out soon!
This Viaduct over the River Dodder. and you can see the Luas Green Line here too. Built in 1854 . [ closed in 1958 and reopened in 2004], The bridge was part of the old Harcout ST. Railway line. Remnants of old MILL here too. Thus the name of the suburb Milltown.

June 9th 2011: Talbot Street Dublin City Centre:
I spotted this group of locals getting very animated about what was in the Dublin paper the evening herald and snapped them. Dave introduced himself and outlined the story behind this of a friend of theirs whom they all knew is called Rhoda Crosbie: A single mother with 3 children in a single room flat passed over while others got keys to new two bed apartments from the council last week. To add to her situation I was informed she has cancer and already lost both breasts in a mastectomy operation. Their outrage at the unfairness of this whole situation was palpable. They outlined how the father of the children was a known and dangerous criminal and who recently got out after a long spell only to be caught and being banged up again in a matter of weeks of his release. Rhoda’s son has a history of being in small scale trouble but it was explained to me what hope does a lad have who has to get up every morning in a single room and go onto the street to give some privacy and space to his younger siblings and the all female remainder of his family. Dunne Street where the flat is located is full of drug dealers and the associated anti social behaviour. The other women told me stories too of their situations on Sherrif Street of overcrowding of families and lack of proper social housing.
