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 It was withdrawn, and went for scrap, in 1994.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 Around 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus. 04/06/1983
Going back twelve years this week to a trio of RV Class buses enjoying the sun rising over Barnageeragh in north County Dublin. RV 481, RV 506 and RV 507 are seen parked along the road before they head to Skerries to start their journeys on Xpresso route 33X to Dublin city centre. This route was seriously ramped up in frequency three months earlier, following the partial collapse of Malahide viaduct and the severing of the Dublin to Drogheda (and Belfast) railway line. The bus had to take the strain in order to get people from the commuter towns into and out of work every day in the city centre. However, the day this picture was taken was the day the railway line was being reopened and the 33X was about to be reduced in frequency again. However the timetable was kept more frequent than it had been before the viaduct collapsed.
RV 481, RV 506 and RV 507 were all delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. All three were withdrawn around May 2009. However, as many extra buses were needed for the 33X that August, all three were returned to service to help out. However, after the railway reopened the three buses were soon withdrawn again and all three were sold to various operators in the United Kingdom. Barnageeragh, 12/11/2009
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 going thirty-nine years to 1984 and KC 12 on Ormond Quay. The bus is dressed for route 70 to Dunboyne. The Dublin United Tramways Company started operating this route in 1934. It passed to CIE in 1945 and Dublin Bus in 1987, and hasn't really changed much over the years (apart from by-passing Blanchardstown). It is one of the few Dublin city services that goes beyond the city and county of Dublin. Dunboyne, in County Meath, is just under 20kms from Dublin city centre.
KC 12 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 2000.

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.

This week we are going back only 11 years, to the final days of a bus route in Dublin in Autumn 2010.
Dublin Bus AW 18 is seen at the terminus of route 4A at Stradbrook, near Deansgrange, in the south-eastern part of the city. Route 4A started in November 2007, running between Harristown (on the Northside of Dublin) and Stradbrook (on the Southside) via the City Centre. It was a derivative of route 4 which ran between Harristown and Blackrock and together they provided extra capacity along the Rock Road on the Southside, and the Ballymun Road on the Northside. However, under Network Direct it was decided to merge both routes into one, with the 4 extended to Monkstown Avenue via Stradbrook. This extension was also planned to replace part of the 46A route, which was removed from Monkstown Farm. These changes took place in September 2010, giving the 4A a lifespan of two years, 10 months.
AW 18 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was one of twenty bendy-buses delivered that year, as a trial to see if that type of bus could work here. After spending time on a number of routes (trying to find some they could be suitable on as the narrow streets of Dublin provided a challenge), they settled down on route 10 eventually. In 2006 they migrated to the new route 4, so were also naturally allocated to the 4A in 2007. The end of the 4A also marked the end of the AW Class, and over the following months they started to be withdrawn with them all gone by early-2011. A few of them went on to have careers in the United Kingdom. AW 18 itself was scrapped in the UK.

This week we are going back twenty-four years to Dublin Bus KD 9 on Burgh Quay. The bus is at the terminus of route 7. This bus route started running between the city centre and Dun Laoghaire in 1949. It ceased in 1951 (with route 7A taking over) before returning around 1980 and extended to Ballybrack. In 1988 it moved to Loughlinstown Park, and in 2004 also started serving Cherrywood. In 2016 the route was changed to solely serve Brides Glen.
KD 9 was delivered new to CIE in 1981. It was withdrawn by 2000, along with the rest of the KD Class.
The ad on the side of the bus is for Argos. They arrived in the Republic of Ireland from the UK in 1996, and getting the Argos catalogue was always a big deal. In some ways it was the analogue version of Amazon.

#Machines have changed our lives dramatically over the last couple of hundred years. Nowadays, a swipe on a screen can automatically do the hard work that previous generations toiled at for days. That's the reason we see so many photos from the past of proud men and woman standing in front of their new acquirements - be it a tractor, washing machine, or printer ...
This week we want to celebrate all this progress and take a look at the machines that have improved our lives so dramatically. Share your #Machines photo with us for #TBT by uploading it to your Flickr account and sharing the URL in the comment section of our Facebook or Twitter posts. We will curate our favorites and show them in the Flickr blog next week.

First wig, dress and heels that I purchased. Was still missing a few items to complete a full transformation, but just a start at that time
These two particular dolls really changed my perception of the Barbie brand. I was happy to see them readily available year after year until Raquelle was nowhere to be found in the US for the "Style" line only to be released elsewhere and to finally come back twice unfortunately with poorly printed eyes. She has yet to appear back with this gorgeous face. Ryan on the other hand had his sculpt completely redone and never returned. Mattel please bring them back... just the way they used to be!
Here's to hoping we get them in collectible sized heads in any upcoming lines whether it be "The Look" or not even in collectible size heads, just back in "Fashionistas." I would get excited just to see them back in some form be it a picture in the Barbiestyle Instagram account. What do you guys think? Which Raquelle and Ryan are your favorite releases?
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.
Alexander ALX300-bodied 62225 was the only example of the three to carry the current corporate livery, and is captured on Rheidol Avenue, Clase in mid September 2015.
Accidentally found that old 2009 photo on my drive. My son creatively ask me to re-capture the moment back at the same place. We managed to capture it as good as we can and here is the result ^_^

A hazy late August day in 2006 finds train Q283 led by a trio of EMDs and only a small block of autos passing over the detector at QB135 in Becket, MA.
This week we re going back thirty-two years to 1993, and to P 5 at the route 39 terminus in Clonsilla.
Route 39 started running between the City Centre and Blanchardstown in 1926. Between 1972 and 2004 its western terminus moved around between Sheepmoor, Clonsilla, Coolmine and the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. In 2004 it settled on Ongar as a western terminus. In 2010, under Network Direct, the city terminus moved to Baggot Street and three years later to Burlington Road.
In 1993 route 39 became the first CitySwift route in Dublin. The concept was to run single-decker buses at a higher-frequency than before. When this started, Clonsilla was the terminus as seen here.
P 5 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1993, with the P Class the first class of bus purchased for CitySwift operations. The P Class ultimately number 40 members, and were later joined on CitySwift routes by members of the AD, VA, RV and AV Classes. P 5 was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the early-2000s, and had joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Cavan by 2003. By 2013 it had been withdrawn and stored in Dundalk garage for eventual scrapping.

This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996 and RH 106 on Eden Quay. The bus is dressed for route 56A. This route started around started running between the city centre and Ballymount around 1982. By 1985 it had been extended to Fettercairn and reached The Square in Tallaght in 1990.
RH 106 was new to Dublin Bus in 1991. It was finally withdrawn in 2006 and sold on to another operator in the United Kingdom. However, it eventually ended up doing open top tours in San Francisco.
The bus is in an all-over ad for Chef Ketchup. It was repainted into this ad in 1996 and remained like this for a couple of years. The Chef brand was established in Ireland in 1921 and is now owned by Valeo Foods Group.

This week we are going back twenty-five years to 1998 and KC 173 at Connolly Station, dressed for route 27B. This GAC bus was delivered new to CIE in 1986. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus during 2000 and moved to Bus Eireann's school fleet, based out of Tralee in County Kerry. It was withdrawn after 2002.
Route 27B started running between the city centre and Castletimon in 1971. In 2004 it was extended to Harristown (via Swords Road), following the opening of the bus garage there.
KC 173 is parked on what was known as "The Ramp" which led up to Connolly Station. This was demolished in the early-2000s to make way for the Luas tram stop which is level with Amiens Street.

He's reading a newspaper. Not a cellphone, or a tablet, or a laptop. A good old fashioned newspaper. Respect.
Back to a drawing of my bedroom from the early 80's in Chatham, Ontario.
Check out that boombox and the Care Bear poster - hahaha!
Twenty years old and out for a full day of girl fun! Sure I looked a bit nervous but still managed to trudge on and do what I wanted. Visited a salon in the morning for a make over and wig styling, then found a nice park to take some photos at , and then went shopping at the mall! I know these feminine button up the back rompers/playsuits aren't in style now but a lot of women were wearing them back then!
