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 It was withdrawn in May 2012 and moved to the United Kingdom where it had a further career with other operators. 05/11/2010
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 2009, and to VT 40 on a snowy Hawkins Street with a service on route 39 to Ongar.
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, after being on Hawkins Street for nearly a decade, and three years later to Burlington Road.
Also, in 1993 route 39 became the first City Swift route.
VT 40 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007, being one of fity Enviro 500s delivered that year. It is still in service today with Dublin Bus, at the tender age of 19.
Beside the bus is the Screen cinema. It closed in 2016 and the building was demolished in 2019. Hawkins House behind it was demolished in 2022.

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.

Apparently she still runs because I see this old beauty parked fairly regularly in the same spot when I drive through town. Finally stopped and took its picture. These old vehicles had class and their own unique style, some even a little quirky, unlike the bland and uniform curves of today’s automobiles.
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.
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
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.

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.
#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.

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.

This week we go back thirty-two years to 1991 and Dublin Bus RH 56 parked at Bus Aras on Store Street, between duties on route 42. This route started in 1925, running between the city centre and Coolock. In 1953 it was extended north along the Malahide Road to Kinsealy and Malahide. In 2005 it was extended from Malahide to Portmarnock, where it still runs to today.
RH 56 was new to Dublin Bus in 1990. This Leyland Olympian was withdrawn in 2002 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. It was finally scrapped in 2014.
Bus Aras is the main bus station in Dublin for regional and long distance services operated by Bus Eireann. It was designed by Michael Scott and opened in 1953.

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.

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.
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
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.

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.
08/07/2009
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2009, and to RV 481 on D'Olier Street with a service on route 83 to Kimmage.
Route 83 started running between the city centre and Kimmage in 1936. In 1992 it became the first City Imp route, when red / yellow minibuses were introduced that ran at a high frequency. 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. It then finally ceased to operate in 2025 when it was partially replaced by routes 23, 24 and 82 under the Bus Connects F-Spine changes.
RV 481 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

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.
06/01/2009
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.

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.

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
