This week we are going thirteen years to 2009 and WV 45 crossing O’Connell Bridge on route 63 to Mountjoy Square. The DUTC started operating this route between the city centre and Carrickmines in 1934. In 1955 it also started serving Glenamuck, and around 1986 it was extended to Kilternan. In 2010 the route was cut back from the city centre to Dun Laoghaire, becoming just a local route. In 2018 Go-Ahead Ireland took over running route 63 between Dun Laoghaire and Kilternan.
WV 45 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2001. It was one of fifty-two midi-buses delivered from Wrights between 1999 and 2001. It was withdrawn in 2012 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

#1 in my throwback series circa 2005 my first girly Christmas when I received the first feminine gifts I desired since I was a young "girl" ( in my mind) a wonderful memory I look back on with fondness 💓💓
Ever since the introduction of money, people shopped! This #TBT, we want to see the history of commerce.

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 eighteen years to 2007 and to RV 435 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 123 to Kilnamanagh Road.
Route 123 started around 1993 as a City Imp route, running between Marino and Drimnagh. It replaced former routes 23 and 24, but operated at a higher frequency, using smaller buses. Over time, the City Imp concept proved very popular and larger buses were needed. The 123, and the other City Imp routes, eventually lost the minibuses and became part of the regular network, using double-decker buses. In 2006 the 123 terminus was moved from Drimnagh to Kilnamanagh Road. Under Bus Connects, route 123 is due to be replaced on 19th October 2025 by new route 73, which will be operated by Go-Ahead Ireland.
RV 435 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn around 2010, and sold on to another Irish operator.

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.

Going back thirteen years this week to 2009 and Dublin Bus EV 79 at Clontarf Road station on route 104. Route 104 started operating between Clontarf Road station and Cappagh Hospital via Beaumont Hospital in 2000. It took a convoluted route, serving Clontarf, Artane, Santry, Ballymun and Finglas. In May 2009 the 104 was combined with route 103, and the eastern terminus was cut back to Clontarf Garage. In 2011 the route was changed again under Network Direct, running between Clontarf Garage and Ardlea Road. About seven months later the route was extended west to Santry via Beaumont Hospital, and in 2015 moved again to DCU. Finally, in January 2019 Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route, and the eastern terminus was moved back to Clontarf Road station. It also became inter-worked with route 220, which operates from DCU to Lady's Well Road. Although it is basically one long route, it operates as two.
EV 79 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2008, and was one of a hundred Enviro 400s bought between 2007 and 2008 for the fleet. Although other members of the EV Class have been withdrawn, EV 79 is still in service in 2022. 04/03/2009

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.
This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012 and to AV 341 in Malahide with a service on route 102 to Dublin Airport.
Route 102 started running between Sutton Station and Malahide in 1986, and was one of the DART Feeder bus routes introduced around that time. These routes were designed to provide frequent connections into the new electrified train service in Dublin. In March 2008, the 102 was merged with route 230, with this new route 102 running between Sutton Station and Dublin Airport, via Malahide and Swords. In December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. In 2024 the route was modified slightly to serve Portmarnock Station.
AV 341 was new to Dublin Bus in 2003. It was withdrawn in 2018 and sold on to another Irish operator.

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.
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.
Dusted off from the archives...2003. Still have that top and skirt somewhere in this menagerie, LOL.

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
