This week's Flickr #TBT theme is #Fashion.
Fashion has changed dramatically over the last few decades. And every so often, the coolest outfit of the time, looks the most ridiculous in retrospect. What was your greates fashion faux pas? We'd love to see it!
Share the Flickr URL of your photo in the comments section of our Facebook post or in our Twitter Feed (@Flickr #TBT #Fashion), and we’ll show the best ones next week on the Flickr Blog.

This week we are going back to the last century and KC 176 on route 16A to Beaumont. Route 16A started operating between Beaumont and Lower Rathfarnham in 1955. In 1985 the northside terminus moved to Santry, which it shared with route 16, on Shanard Road. This is where KC 176 is actually going. In 1999 the terminus was moved further north again to Dublin Airport, where it remained until 2012. The southern terminus was always on Nutgrove Avenue. Network Direct saw the 16 and 16A merge into new route 16 which operates from Dublin Airport to Ballinteer.
KC 176 was delivered new to CIE in 1985.It initially operated in Limerick, before coming to Dublin in 1988. It was based in Summerhill and Conyngham Road garages before being withdrawn around 1998.
Behind the bus is Dublin Bus head office.

As much as I try to always have my camera when taking photos, sometimes you just end somewhere without it. So when I saw this pier and the sunset I had to take a photo with my only camera available, my phone.
This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1986 and KD 38 at the terminus for route 3 in Larkhill. This route started as a bus route in 1940, running from Larkhill to Sandymount Tower. In 1972 it was extended to St. John's Church at the southern end, and in 1990 certain departures were extended further to UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012. Under Network Direct it was replaced on the southside by new route 1, and on the northside by an extended route 44.
KD 38 was new to CIE in 1981. It was withdrawn and scrapped between 1994 and 1996.
It is worth noting the bus is showing "Whitehall" as a destination, rather than the more common "Larkhill". 30/03/1986
This week we are going back to 1990 and Dublin Bus D 812 at the route 67A terminus in Maynooth. This route started around 1988 and was an extension of route 67 from Celbridge to Maynooth, the 67 itself dating back to at least 1934. The 67A lasted until November 2010 when Network Direct extended the 67 fully to Maynooth from Celbridge. The route is due to cease in late-2021 when the Bus Connects C-Spine starts.
D 812 is seen at the old 67A terminus in Court House Square. it subsequently moved closer to the railway station on Straffan Road where the 67 terminates today. However, Bus Eireann still refer to the present terminus as the 67A terminus in their timetables.
D 812 was delivered new to CIE in 1976. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994. 16/07/1990

Here we take it back to when CP was still running on the original CP1 and CP2 on the Bryn Mawr cutoff. I believe this was the summer before they cut the bridge in. One of CP's many trains heads for Bensenville yard with a CP SD40-2 leading a fakebonnet and NS dash 9's.
Whilst on a wander near Bolderwood one Autumn, these two New Forest ponies came into view, giving a focal point amongst the wonderful colours and shades in this lovely part of the world.
Dusted off from the archives...2003. Still have that top and skirt somewhere in this menagerie, LOL.
Starting to get things dialed in a little around 2001, after quite a few years of hits and misses. This hairstyle was certainly a leap of faith after years of "big hair".
I"ve always appreciated the sight of a beautiful well-dressed woman entering or exiting a vehicle, as evidenced by my many attempts at this spectacle over the years, LOL.
***Decided to merge images from my old Flickr account with my current account. Photos and descriptions from 2007-2009.

Couple riding their bikes on the Lower East Side of New York.
More of the "Designing Women" period, I recall shopping at Penney's and Dillards outlet stores (en drab of course) and finding great deals on mismatched tops, skirts and blazers and trying to turn them into something. These red pumps were the first real leather high heels I ever owned, what a thrill having those arrive at my P.O. Box up in the city. I didn't dare have them shipped to my Rural Route address for the nosy postwoman to ponder over the giant women's shoes being shipped here.

This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1991 and KC 48 at The Square in Tallaght. The bus is dressed for route 76A. This route originally started operating between Blanchardstown and Tallaght just before The Square opened in 1990. It was then extended to the shopping centre in October of that year when it opened, as well as to Blakestown at the northern end. In 1996 it moved to the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, while the southern terminus was split between Balrothery and Fettercairn for a while. In more recent years it has consistently operated between the shopping centres in Tallaght and Blanchardstown, with Go-Ahead Ireland taking over the operation of the route from Dublin Bus in 2019.
KC 48 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn from service by Dublin Bus in 2000 and went on to join the Bus Eireann school bus fleet. In 2004 it was acquired for preservation.

One of my 2018 plans was to do something more with my catalog of dog photos from over the years. Part of my answer to that is I will start doing a weekly 'throwback Thursday' post on my Instagram account to go through the previous 52 week projects. Today was the first day where I started with Kael's 2013 project. It will be good to have a weekly revisit of her on Instagram.
Going back eleven years this week to RV 551 at the route 123 terminus in Marino. At this time the route was predominately operated by the single-deck midibuses of the WV Class, although the RV double deckers made occasional appearances on the route. However, that was all about to change when this picture was taken. Behind the RV are two members of the EV Class. They had started to transfer into Summerhill Garage during this week, and within a few days had completely taken over the 123, replacing the WV Class. The EV buses remained on this route until Autumn 2021 when the new hybrid buses of PA Class took over.
Route 123 started in the early 1990s when it started as a City Imp route replacing the former routes 23 and 24. It operated from Marino to Drimnagh via Ballybough and St James's Hospital. In more recent times it has had its southern terminus moved from Drimnagh Road to Kilnamanagh Road.
RV 551 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in May 2012 and moved to the United Kingdom where it had a further career with other operators. 05/11/2010
The house where I grew up. In Upstate N.Y. How 'bout that 'new' '57 Chevy station wagon in the garage.
This week we are going back to 1988 and KD 309 at the route 65B terminus in Killinarden. Route 65B started around 1984, operating between the city centre and Killinarden via Harold's Cross and Tallaght. In 1998 the route was extended to Citywest to where it still operates today. However in 2012 it was diverted away from Tallaght village, operating along Killinniny Road instead.
KD 309 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late 1990s.
The bus is wearing the millennium badge on the side to mark a thousand years of Dublin in 1988.

I remembered this week! :P
This is a picture of my first Figbrawl which I did with my brother.
The challenge was "Superhero and Sidekick".
My minifigures were Captain Pajamas and Blanket Boy! :D I thought they were a fun idea, though it's a little hard not to see them as Buzz Lightyear and Incrediboy...
(Also my brother won but that's not important.)
So... Do people do figbrawls around here? That could be fun.
This week we are throwing back thirteen years to 2009 and AV 238 on route 42A to Beaumont Hospital. This route started operating between the city centre and Kinsealy / Malahide in 1926. In 1953 it was cut back to Coolock and soon after to Harmonstown. In the late-1980s it moved terminus to Blunden Drive and finally in 2005 to Beaumont Hospital. The route ceased to be in 2011 under Network Direct changes.
AV 238 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2002. It was withdrawn in 2016 and sold on to an operator in the UK. This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

It is 2013 and the 41X is a busy little bus route. DT 6 and GT 45 are seen on D'Olier Street, both with a 41X to UCD Belfield. The 41X is one of a number of Xpresso routes operated by Dublin Bus. These routes operate in the peak hours only (mostly) and have limited stops. They are designed to be faster versions of the regular routes that serve the same areas. The one version that sort of goes beyond the peak hour limitation is the 84X to Newcastle. The 41X connects Swords with the City Centre and UCD Belfield. For a lot of its journey to the city centre it uses the M1 and Dublin Port Tunnel. That latter routing caused some controversy earlier this century when private operator Swords Express objected to Dublin Bus using the tunnel, but that was later resolved. In more recent times the 41X has been extended beyond Swords Manor to the new housing development at Knocksedan.
Although GT 45 is still with Dublin Bus, DT 6 was withdrawn in 2017 along with the rest of the Dennis Tridents. 17/01/2013
