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 It was withdrawn by Dublin bus two months after this photograph was taken, in September 1995, and sold for scrap.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

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 It had been withdrawn by 1996.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.

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.

Jamming is the theme for this week's #TBT - by this we mean playing instruments in the broadest sense. So share your old photos from your big band days, your Christmas piano recital, the woodwind quartet your great aunt played in or from that time you took the guitar to the beach!
Share them by posting the Flickr URL in the comment section of our Facebook post or by sharing it in our Twitter Feed (@Flickr #TBT #Jamming). We will show our favorites next week in the Flickr Blog.
And get to know Flickr Commons! This picture is from the New York Public Library account - (flic.kr/p/7bA9w2)
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 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 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.

Marion DeGrazia said, "When he painted, he played mariachi music all the time. He loved the ballads and the songs. It’s odd that he did that because with three degrees from the University—the master’s degree was in the relation of color and sound, and he played Tchaikovsky and Beethoven and the great masters of music—then he forgot all about them and played mariachi music when he painted.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
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.

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.
17/05/2014
This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012 and to AV 341 in Malahide with a service on route 102 to Dublin Airport.
Route 102 started running between Sutton Station and Malahide in 1986, and was one of the DART Feeder bus routes introduced around that time. These routes were designed to provide frequent connections into the new electrified train service in Dublin. In March 2008, the 102 was merged with route 230, with this new route 102 running between Sutton Station and Dublin Airport, via Malahide and Swords. In December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. In 2024 the route was modified slightly to serve Portmarnock Station.
AV 341 was new to Dublin Bus in 2003. It was withdrawn in 2018 and sold on to another Irish operator.

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.

Going back eleven years this week to a snow covered UCD Belfield. AV 139 is seen arriving with a service on peak-only Xpresso route 66X. This route started around 1989 as a CitySpeed route between Maynooth or Leixlip and the city centre. Around 2000 it was extended to the college UCD Belfield, and was rebranded as Xpresso. For a period in the 1990s the route operated throughout the day as an express route between Middle Abbey Street and Maynooth. In 2021 the route ceased under Bus Connects when it was replaced by new express peak-only routes X25 and X26.
AV 139 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2014 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
December 2010 was probably one of the whitest December's in Ireland in more recent times. 01/12/2010
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.

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

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?
This week we are going back thirty-four years to D 608 in Swords with a service on route 43. This is the third route to use the number 43. The original route 43 operated between 1925 and 1939 connecting the city centre with Killester. The second route 43 went to Mount Merrion between 1940 and 1966. The Swords version started in 1986, operating to / from the city centre via Kinsealy. Originally terminating at the main stop in Swords as seen here, it was extended to Swords Business Park in the early 2000s where it still operates to this day.
D 608 was delivered new to CIE in Dublin in 1974. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1993 when it was sold for scrap.
Ryans Bar in the background is no longer standing, having been cleared to provide better views of Swords Castle behind it.

**Picture was actually taken in February and not July as the label says.**
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 ^_^
