This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1986 and KD 38 at the terminus for route 3 in Larkhill. This route started as a bus route in 1940, running from Larkhill to Sandymount Tower. In 1972 it was extended to St. John's Church at the southern end, and in 1990 certain departures were extended further to UCD Belfield. The route ceased to operate in 2012. Under Network Direct it was replaced on the southside by new route 1, and on the northside by an extended route 44.
KD 38 was new to CIE in 1981. It was withdrawn and scrapped between 1994 and 1996.
It is worth noting the bus is showing "Whitehall" as a destination, rather than the more common "Larkhill". 30/03/1986
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.

More of the "Designing Women" period, I recall shopping at Penney's and Dillards outlet stores (en drab of course) and finding great deals on mismatched tops, skirts and blazers and trying to turn them into something. These red pumps were the first real leather high heels I ever owned, what a thrill having those arrive at my P.O. Box up in the city. I didn't dare have them shipped to my Rural Route address for the nosy postwoman to ponder over the giant women's shoes being shipped here.

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.

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.

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.
This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996, and D 749 on O'Connell Street. The bus is operating the Dublin Bus Heritage Tour. This VanHool McArdle AN68 was new to CIE in 1975. Around 1994/95 it was converted to an open-top tour bus. Unusually, it also gained a new front upstairs, one that resembled that used on the KD-Class buses. It was withdrawn in 2001, when Leyland Olympians started to transfer into the tour fleet.
Dublin Bus started operating tours around Dublin in 1988. It has always been a commercial operation, and today falls under the DoDublin brand.

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
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 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.

And get to know Flickr Commons! This picture is from the New York Public Library account - (flic.kr/p/7bA9w2)
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.

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.

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.
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.
