Had to include an old throwback to no virus bs, no riots, just good weather and action! Not long after I got my new to me lens I shot 337 as it approaches Burlington, IL along its journey West.

This week we are going back fifteen years to 2010 and to AV 311 in Kilmainham, with a service on route 19 to Bulfin Road.
Route 19 started running between Glasnevin and Rialto in 1939. Initially its terminus was Ballygall Road East, but moved to Cedarwood Road in 1967. Around 1989 the southern terminus moved to Bulfin Road in Inchicore, and in 2001 the northern terminus moved to Jamestown Road. The route ceased to operate in 2011 under Network Direct, when it was partially replaced by routes 9, 83, 83A, 68 and 68A. The number returned to the network in 2025 when a new route 19 started running between Dublin Airport and the city centre under Bus Connects.
AV 311 was new to Dublin Bus in 2003. It was withdrawn in late-2017, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

In September 2015, Swansea University opened its new Bay Campus a few miles east of the city centre. Hundreds of students required transport for the first time and despite the best of plans by the University, First Cymru was faced with unprecedented demand for some of its services.
Four Volvo B10BLEs were therefore loaned from First Bristol / Somerset & Avon until five new Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs (67091-5) were delivered in late October. The hired vehicles were allocated to city services to release others for the University network. Service 36 (City Centre-Manselton-Clase-Morriston) was a popular allocation because it can easily accommodate longer vehicles.
62200 was the sole example fitted with Wright's attractive Renown bodywork, and she is seen on Clasemont Road heading for Morriston in mid September 2015.

Throwback to December of 2019, just a couple weeks (at most) after the CP Veterans units were unveiled. CP 7020 (Army Temperate Regions) leads CP 199 through Brookfield, Wi in a heavy snowfall. I couldn’t edit back then, but now that I’ve figured it out I’ve been able to make this presentable.
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2008, and to RV 421 on D'Olier Street with a service on route 117 to Kilcross.
Route 117 was one of the peak-hour routes that started in 1999 in conjunction with the opening of the Stillorgan Quality Bus Corridor (QBC). The route ran between Kilcross and the city centre, going via Ballyogan and Corneslcourt. In 2005 the route was extended to serve the new development at Belarmine. In 2009 the route was one of many cut from the network in order to reduce costs during the financial crisis.
RV 421 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009 and sold on to an operator in United Kingdom.

Our first house. Looks pretty good here but it was a real handyman's special. A second lot was included which accounts for this POV. We paid $6,000 for it on a contract for deed direct from the owner in 1970. Then a couple months later, the seller was hard up for money so she offered us the chance to buy back the contract for $4,500.
I learned a lot about restoring and remodeling with this one. And we actually made some good money on it but lots of work. It's no longer there because of some bad flooding a few years ago in this little village.
This little red dress has been hiding in the back of my closet for a number of years ...thirteen apparently. Below is a shot showing just how long it's been. Try not to laugh too hard at the big hair!
This week we are going back a decade to 2012 and AV 9 on College Street with a service on route 15 to Ballycullen Road. This ALX400 bus was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2013 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. Route 15 started running between the city centre and Scholarstown Road in 1988. At the end of 2011 it became a cross-city route from Clongriffin to Stocking Avenue, following a merger with route 128 under Network Direct. Then in early-2012 the southern terminus was cut back slightly to Ballycullen Road.
This part of College Street was a busy location for buses for many decades, having served as a terminus for a lot of routes. Even under Network Direct it was still a busy location as seen here with routes such as the 15, 15A, 15B, 39, 39A and so on still stopping here. That all ended when Luas Cross City works started and in 2017 this became the Trinity tram stop. The background has also changed in recent years with the demolition of the building on Townsend Street in the background.

I have now formally resigned from my previous position within the SAF.
Or, rather, I leave at year end.
My boss have somehow turned sentimental, and is therefore sending me old pictures from our, infamous, archive.
He took this picture, and I can remember when it was and what had happened here.
If you are interested, look for details in this photo.
I can today not believe I was so sure of things, and so ignorant that I didn´t even wear a helmet.
People get older and wiser, I am sure about the getting older part, but not that about getting wiser.
I will keep running through the jungle until i die.
Well, not really....

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.
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 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.

Amtrak F40PH or as Llanuza says "PH40" #347 leads an inbound across the South Branch bridge and is about to duck under 18th St. March, 1990.
I decided a few frames needed to be exposed when this guy rounded the curve at B12. Led by a Norfolk Southern GP59 and a high nose GP38-2, a trio of mixed SD40-2s rounded out this consist passing under the signals Franklin Park.
The P5 air horn up top sounded impressive, and was even more so after it passed and the sound increased as this motor is still set up for long hood first operation, as the horn faces the rear of the locomotive.
Pure Old School.
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.

For the 500th Throwback we are going back to 2016 (the year the series started) and to SG 161 in College Green, with a service on route 40 to Liffey Valley.
SG 161 was the first of the 110 members of the 2016 batch of the SG Class. It entered service in May of that year. The first member of the class (SG 1) was delivered new in 2014, and eventually Dublin Bus received 621 SGs in total - though did not have them all at once. In 2018 some of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland, but they also received 44 of them brand new, which means a total of 665 Wrights Gemini 3 buses have been delivered for city services in Dublin. The last of these buses were delivered new to Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland in 2020, and these were also the last pure-diesel buses delivered to Dublin. Following orders have either been hybrids or pure electric.
SG 161 is in the Dublin Bus "fleet standard" livery. This livery was introduced in 2003. However, when Go-Ahead Ireland started operations in 2018, Transport for Ireland introduced a new general livery for all public service obligation buses. However this initial TFI livery was not very well-received, and in 2021 a new green/yellow livery was introduced. by mid-2025 all the Go-Ahead Ireland buses had the new livery, and the vast majority of the Dublin Bus fleet also received the new livery. SG 161 was repainted in late-2024.
SG 161 is seen on route 40 to Liffey Valley shopping centre. Route 40 started running between Finglas and the city centre on the 14th September 1925. In 2011, under Network Direct, it was merged with routes 78 & 78A and was extended to Liffey Valley via Ballyfermot. In 2017 it was extended north to Charlestown. In 2022 it was cut back from Liffey Valley to the city centre under Bus Connects when the western part of the route was covered by new route G2. It is currently planned to replace the remaining part of route 40 in October 2025 with the F-Spine under Bus Connects.
Since Throwback Thursday has started, Dublin has said goodbye to routes 8, 13, 17, 17A, 18, 25, 25A, 25B, 29A, 31, 31A, 31B, 32, 46A, 61, 63, 66, 66A, 66B, 66E, 67, 75, 75A, 76, 76A, 79, 79A, 84, 84A, 90, 145, 155, 175, 184, 185, 239, 747, 748 and some other less-frequent routes. And in the same time the city has said hello to routes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, E1 ,E2, G1, G2, H1, H2, H3, L1, L2, L3, L11, L12, L14, L15, L25, L26, L27, L51, L52, L53, L54, L58, L59, N2, N4, N6, S2, S4, S6, S8, W2, W4, W6, 6,19, 52, 60, 74, as well as some other less-frequent routes.
All-in-all, there has been quite a change to the bus scene in Dublin since Throwback Thursday started in January 2016.

A throwback to the first close-ups I took from a boat, of the white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) where I'm from nine years ago. I took them together with eagle tour guide Ole Stokke.
I was mostly used to seeing them from a distance, and I remember the excitement of getting them this close. Later, there have been many more trips through the years to meet them.
(Havørn in Norwegian)
Check out more photos of these first eagles in the links below the line.

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.
