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 This Leyland Olympian was withdrawn in 2002 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.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.

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!
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 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 It was withdrawn in 2016 and sold on to an operator in the UK.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.

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 six years to 2016 and AV 378 on Collins Avenue with a service on route 31D to DCU. Route 31D started in October 2016, along with the 42D and 70D. These three routes operated one return trip Monday-Friday during college term time. The 42D ran from Portmarnock via Malahide and the 70D from Dunboyne via Cabra. The 31D ran from Baldoyle and went via Raheny, Killester and Collins Avenue. In May 2022 it ceased to operate when Bus Connects introduced new route N4 along Collins Avenue, and passengers from Baldoyle could travel by H1 or H2 to meet the N4 in Killester.
AV 378 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2004. It was withdrawn in 2018 and sold on to another operator in the United Kingdom.

Not quite the iconic 962 but still nice to see it.
Third and final testing session to make sure I have my kit dialed-in for the season ahead.
I'm sure I'll be making some additional minor tweaks and such along the way but upon review of last year, I've worked-out some kinks and issues I was having in setup and technique.

While I'm reading In praise of slowness by Carl Honoré I leave you with this page made years ago.
Enjoy yourself!
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.

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.
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.

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
#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 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 are going back thirty-nine years to 1986, and to D 582 on Pembroke Street with a service on route 10 to the Phoenix Park.
Route 10 started running between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook in 1940. Around 1970 it was extended to University College Dublin (UCD) in Belfield. It probably became one of the most well-known routes in the city, as it was used by many people to either go to the zoo or to college. The route ceased to operate in 2010 when it was replaced by route 46A on the northside, and route 39A on the southside under Network Direct. Pembroke Street is served by route 39A.
D 582 was new to CIE in Dublin in 1974. From 1978 to 1985 it operated in Cork. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1991.

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.

This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1992 and RH 22 in Skerries. The bus is near the end of its journey on route 33 from Dublin to Skerries. CIE took over this route from the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1958. Between Dublin and Skerries it serves Swords, Lusk and Rush, and not Dundrum as mistakenly shown on this bus. Certain departures are extended further north to Balbriggan. Skerries Station has a shed where some buses from Summerhill Garage are out-based to operate to route. Currently Skerries is still served by the 33, as well as route 33A (Dublin Airport / Swords - Skerries / Balbriggan) operated by Go-Ahead Ireland. The 33 is the most northerly route operated by Dublin Bus.
RH 22 was new to Dublin Bus in 1990. In 2000 it became an open top tour bus, and was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 2008.

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 throwing back thirty-four years to D 521 on Parnell Square dressed for route 35. This route started running between the city centre and Finglas in 1952. Initially its terminus was on Ballygall Road, but in 1975 it moved to McKee Road. The route ceased to operate around 1990 when the 19A was extended to McKee Road (The 19A itself was later replaced in part by route 9).
D 521 was delivered new to CIE in 1973. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1991.
14/04/1988
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.

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 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.
