Well, not really....
WC GP40-2 3027 sits in the west end of Brantford yard after being set off by a westbound freight on June 23rd, 2006
What a difference fifteen years makes. This evening dress was one of my first attempts at being a "glamour girl" back in 2003.
It did not fit well then, and needless to say it never fit any better...I don't think I could even zip it up.
Fast forward to 2018 and I find myself with a somewhat different body after changes I had to make from congestive heart failure in January. The dress is still a little small, but hey I can at least zip it up! I never figured this dress would see the light of day again.
I had a long way to go back then, a lot to learn, but the journey has been rewarding. I'd like to think I present a little more polished and sophisticated woman these days, LOL.
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to D 372 parked on Eden Quay, dressed for route 83.
Route 83 started running between the city centre and Kimmage in 1936. Around 2003 it was extended north to McKelvey Avenue in Finglas when it replaced route 134. In 2004 it was extended further north to Harristown. In 2024 the route was slightly rerouted to go via Crumlin Village, following the Bus Connects changes to the southern orbital routes.
D 372 was new to CIE in 1970. It was withdrawn one month after this photograph was taken, and subsequently scrapped.

Throwback to another scenic campsite from a few years ago. Hope your weekend is as relaxing as a campout in the desert.
I wasn’t around when this scheme existed so it’s cool to be able to see this. Another Amtrak heritage to add to the list.
This week we are going to the 1995 and D 837 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 16. to Grange Road. This bus route started operating between Whitehall and Terenure in 1939. In 1955 it started running between Santry and Grange Road. In 2001 the southern terminus moved to Ballinteer and in 2012 the route was merged with the 16A to run from Dublin Airport to Ballinteer.
D 837 was delivered new to CIE in 1979. It was withdrawn by Dublin bus two months after this photograph was taken, in September 1995, and sold for scrap.
Beside the front of the bus is Clerys Department Store. It opened in 1853 and closed in 2015. The site is currently being redeveloped.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1985 and D 752 on Aston Quay. The bus is dressed for route 56A. This route started operating around 1982 between the city centre and Ballymount. Around 1985 it was extended to Fettercairn and in 1990 to The Square in Tallaght, where it remains to this day. Walkinstown Avenue shown on the bus was the terminus for route 56, which ceased to operate around 1985, having started in 1956. Since 2018, the 56A (operated by Dublin Bus) also holds the distinction of being the only bus route to pass the bus depot for Go-Ahead Ireland in Ballymount.
D 752 was delivered new to CIE in 1976. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994, having spent all its life operating out of Ringsend Garage.

This week we are going back eight years to 2008. RV 397 is seen on Aston Quay at the 78A terminus after arriving in from Liffey Valley and Ballyfermot. Three years after this photograph was taken the route had merged with route 40 and extended to Finglas on the northside. The bus itself did not remain in service much longer. 11/08/2008

Good morning everyone. Since the first day of 2015 is on Thursday I thought I would do something a bit different for today with it being the New Years Holiday. Be a while before that happens again....being New Years falls on a Thursday. And before I get into the above pic I would like to wish everyone a most Happy & Prosperous 2015. I'd also like to thank one and all for your kind support here on flickr, which has warmed my heart over the years.
As for the above photo...it's the oldest scanned photo I have of yours truly on file on the computer. It's one of the very first pics hubbie took of me with an inexpensive Kodak film camera at the time that belonged to his parents. It was taken in January of 1964 at my in-laws house. 51 years ago...or put another way, over a half century ago.
While we remember it was taken in January, 1964, we can't remember if it was just before or shortly after we got married that month. Old age thing. Either way, I'm all of 20 years old here going on 21 in 64. I know...hard to believe I'm that old.
As a side note...the chair you see me sitting on is one of the many things we kept when my in-laws passed away. It currently resides in our livingroom as it did theirs. As for the dress...it's long gone, although I still have the Jade necklace. A gift from hubbie.
Thank you for stopping by...and once again I hope everyone has a truly great New Year...and happy shooting in 2015.

This week we are going back eight years to 2014 and Dublin Bus GT 39 at Sutton Station. This bus is waiting to depart with a service on route 102 to Dublin Airport. This route started operating in 1986 between Malahide and Sutton. It was one of the new DART Feeder services introduced around that time to connect people with the new suburban rail service. In 2008 it was extended from Malahide to Dublin Airport when it merged with route 230. Then in December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over operation of the route.
GT 39 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2012. It was part of the first batch of GT Class buses delivered to Dublin Bus, the first type of bus since 1999 to be delivered with front and middle doors. In total 160 of these buses were delivered to Dublin Bus, but 12 subsequently transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 39 was not one of them.

This week we are going back 37 years to 1985 and KD 38 on a diverted route 3. This route started running between Whitehall / Larkhill and Sandymount Tower in 1940. In 1972 it was extended to St. John’s Church, near Sydney Parade station, (although the older destination still lingered on as seen here) and in 1990 certain departures were extended to and from UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012 when it was replaced by route 1 under Network Direct. The route usually operated via O’Connell Street but for whatever reason it was diverted via Gardiner Street on the day the picture was taken. Not sure if it was connected, but the day before U2 and REM played a concert in Croke Park.
KD 38 was delivered new to CIE in 1981. It had been withdrawn by 1996.
The ad on the side is for British airline Dan Air, founded in 1953. It was sold to British Airways in 1992 for £1.
The Holyhead Bed&Breakfast is still open on Gardiner Street in 2022.

This week we go back to 1987 to a very snowy Dublin. R 819 is seen giving D 483 a hand in Earlsfort Terrace. R 819 was delivered new to CIE as a double-decker bus in 1958. It started life in Clontarf Garage but was withdrawn in 1976. The bus was then converted into a tow-car and took up this role in Ringsend Garage around 1978. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 1989 and passed to the Transport Museum in Howth as a source of spare parts. It had a longer career than D 483 which was delivered new to CIE in 1973. It started its career in Limerick but moved to Ringsend Garage in Dublin in 1985. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in March 1987.
Dublin Bus itself was formed less than a month after this photo was taken, on the 2nd February 1987.
The National Concert Hall dominates the background. It was built in 1865 for the Dublin International Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures. It then became University College Dublin in 1908 before becoming the National Concert Hall in 1981 when most of UCD moved to Belfield.
The snow of 1987 started on January 11th and didn't start to thaw until the 15th. Dublin Airport recorded a depth of 19cm which is not a very common occurrence in Dublin.

For this week's Throwback Thursday we go back to 1982 and the first Leyland Atlantean in the CIE fleet. D 1 entered service in February 1967 so was already fifteen years old when this photograph was taken. It was withdrawn eighteen months later, Although the first bus in the fleet it was not the first to enter service, that honour falling to D 4. D 1 was the first out of an eventual fleet of 840.
D 1 is seen in Parnell Street with a 40C to Finglas. 18/02/1982
This week we are going back eight years to 2014 and a number of peak-morning buses on Kildare Street. DT 5 is seen on route 37 to Wilton Terrace while DT 8 is seen on route 41X to UCD Belfield. Both buses are part of the fleet of ten delivered to Dublin Bus in 2003. These were outliers in the fleet as the other 648 ALX400s had a Volvo chassis. The full DT fleet was withdrawn by the end of 2017. Both buses here were sold to private operators in Ireland. In the background is VT 38, one of 70 tri-axle Enviro 500s delivered between 2005 and 2007. Currently only ten members of the VT fleet are in service, but one of them is VT 38 which is in the latest TFI livery.
Currently, route 37 runs all day between Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and Wilton Terrace (but the DT was doing an extra morning service on it). The 41X is a limited-stop Xpresso service that runs between Swords and UCD Belfield, going via the city centre. Route 66X no longer runs as it was replaced during the Bus Connects changes in November 2021 along the C-Spine. The X25 and X26 now runs from Maynooth to UCD Belfield.
When this picture was taken, stop 747 on Kildare St was one of the stops in the city with the most routes serving it (around 22 at this time). Most of these were Xpresso routes that only operated in the morning.Today that number has been reduced to about 15.

Going back eleven years this week to a snow covered UCD Belfield. AV 139 is seen arriving with a service on peak-only Xpresso route 66X. This route started around 1989 as a CitySpeed route between Maynooth or Leixlip and the city centre. Around 2000 it was extended to the college UCD Belfield, and was rebranded as Xpresso. For a period in the 1990s the route operated throughout the day as an express route between Middle Abbey Street and Maynooth. In 2021 the route ceased under Bus Connects when it was replaced by new express peak-only routes X25 and X26.
AV 139 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2014 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
December 2010 was probably one of the whitest December's in Ireland in more recent times. 01/12/2010
Going back thirty-one years this week to D 816 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 13. D 816 was delivered new to CIE in 1976. It spend a brief period in Conyngham Road before moving to Donnybrook garage where it spent the rest of its life. It was withdrawn, and went for scrap, in 1994.
Route 13 started in 1939, initially between Glasnevin and Beechwood Avenue. After a five year period where it did not serve the northside, it was extended to Wadelai Park in 1948, before reaching Ballymun around 1980. In 1985 the southern terminus moved to Palmerston Park, before being cut back further in 1997 to Merrion Square. In September 2011 the route grew substantially when it merged with the 51B and 51C and operated from Harristown to Grange Castle via the City Centre.
The bus is in an all-over ad for Radion. This was a washing detergent made by Unilever, and initially launched in 1989. Although the brand used a striking orange colour scheme, it was never very popular. It was relaunched in 1994 and 1997 before being dropped in 1999.

Hard to believe this was a little more than 6 years ago, and only a couple years after I decided I'd start taking pictures of the trains I spent so much time watching during college (rather than, y'know, actually studying anything).
I had ventured up from Bellingham to Vancouver to visit friends and check out the city's preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and found this pair of geeps that had just positioned some heavyweight CP varnish in the yard at Waterfront Station, presumably for railroad executives in town for the Olympics. This was shot through the glass of the walkway from Waterfront Station to the SeaBus ferry slip, so, pardon the reflection.
This week we are going back to 1983 and KD 168 in Dun Laoghaire. The bus is operating a service on route 46A to Dublin city centre. The route started in 1926, running between the city centre and Cabinteely. By 1933 it reached Goatstown and in 1936 it got to Dun Laoghaire, where it has remained to this day. In 1996 the route under went the City Swift transformation, and with the opening of the Stillorgan QBC in 1999, the route became one of the most frequent in Dublin. It is seen as the "premiere" route of Dublin Bus.
KD 168 was delivered new to CIE in 1982. Around 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus. 04/06/1983
For Throwback Thursday this week we are going back to a scene that is no longer with us. KD 167 is seen arriving at Dun Laoghaire harbour. Although the display is showing 46A, it is in fact arriving to bring ferry passengers from the Holyhead car-ferry into Dublin City Centre. Beside it is the old harbour building that was attached to the original harbour railway station. This building was demolished a few years ago. The ferry also originally moved a few metres to a new port building when it became the HSS service. This service too has ceased. The bus service too ceased too when the HSS started as the new building was close to the railway station. 21/04/1992

This week we are only going back nine years to EV 21 on Abbey Street with a service on route 31B to Howth Summit. This route started in 1988, originally running to Howth Station via Carrickbrack Road and Howth Summit. In the early 2000s it was cut back to just Howth Summit, operating via Strand Road in Sutton, as well as Carrickbrack Road. The route ended in June 2021 when the Bus Connects network started its roll-out. The 31B, and the similar 31A, were replaced by new route 6.
EV 21 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was initially based out of Clontarf Garage, but in 2016 the Enviro 400 joined the Dublin Bus tour fleet and lost most of its roof for its new duties. In the background is former Dublin Bus RV 522 in the livery of its new owners - Irlanda Tours.
EV 21 is turning off Marlborough Street onto Abbey Street. In the foreground is the Luas Red Line. Today the Luas Green Line crosses the Red Line at this point as it heads south along Marlborough Street.
