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 ^_^

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
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 It was finally withdrawn in 2006 and sold on to another operator in the United Kingdom.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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus during 2000 and moved to Bus Eireann's school fleet, based out of Tralee in County Kerry. It was withdrawn after 2002.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.
For the 500th Throwback we are going back to 2016 (the year the series started) and to SG 161 in College Green, with a service on route 40 to Liffey Valley.
SG 161 was the first of the 110 members of the 2016 batch of the SG Class. It entered service in May of that year. The first member of the class (SG 1) was delivered new in 2014, and eventually Dublin Bus received 621 SGs in total - though did not have them all at once. In 2018 some of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland, but they also received 44 of them brand new, which means a total of 665 Wrights Gemini 3 buses have been delivered for city services in Dublin. The last of these buses were delivered new to Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland in 2020, and these were also the last pure-diesel buses delivered to Dublin. Following orders have either been hybrids or pure electric.
SG 161 is in the Dublin Bus "fleet standard" livery. This livery was introduced in 2003. However, when Go-Ahead Ireland started operations in 2018, Transport for Ireland introduced a new general livery for all public service obligation buses. However this initial TFI livery was not very well-received, and in 2021 a new green/yellow livery was introduced. by mid-2025 all the Go-Ahead Ireland buses had the new livery, and the vast majority of the Dublin Bus fleet also received the new livery. SG 161 was repainted in late-2024.
SG 161 is seen on route 40 to Liffey Valley shopping centre. Route 40 started running between Finglas and the city centre on the 14th September 1925. In 2011, under Network Direct, it was merged with routes 78 & 78A and was extended to Liffey Valley via Ballyfermot. In 2017 it was extended north to Charlestown. In 2022 it was cut back from Liffey Valley to the city centre under Bus Connects when the western part of the route was covered by new route G2. It is currently planned to replace the remaining part of route 40 in October 2025 with the F-Spine under Bus Connects.
Since Throwback Thursday has started, Dublin has said goodbye to routes 8, 13, 17, 17A, 18, 25, 25A, 25B, 29A, 31, 31A, 31B, 32, 46A, 61, 63, 66, 66A, 66B, 66E, 67, 75, 75A, 76, 76A, 79, 79A, 84, 84A, 90, 145, 155, 175, 184, 185, 239, 747, 748 and some other less-frequent routes. And in the same time the city has said hello to routes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, E1 ,E2, G1, G2, H1, H2, H3, L1, L2, L3, L11, L12, L14, L15, L25, L26, L27, L51, L52, L53, L54, L58, L59, N2, N4, N6, S2, S4, S6, S8, W2, W4, W6, 6,19, 52, 60, 74, as well as some other less-frequent routes.
All-in-all, there has been quite a change to the bus scene in Dublin since Throwback Thursday started in January 2016.

This week we are going back forty years to 1985 and to D 746 parked on Fleet Street, dressed for route 15C.
Route 15C started running between the city centre and Willington roundabout in Templeogue. It was not a very frequent route and was replaced in Willington by the 54A and the 150 in the early-1990s. The next version of route 15C ran from the City Centre to Whitechurch, it started in 1999, as a partial replacement to the 47 group of routes, and lasted until 30th September 2007 when it was replaced by the 15B.
D 746 was new to CIE in 1975. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994 before being sold for scrap.

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!
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 going back twelve years to 2011 and RV 596 on Townsend Street at the terminus for route 44. The DUTC started running this route between the city centre and Enniskerry in 1936. From the early-1970s it had a terminus on Hawkins Street before moving to Townsend Street in 2002. In 2012 it replaced route 3 on the northside and was extended to Larkhill, becoming a cross-city route. Also that time it was taken out of Ballyogan, the via point on the destination in the picture. In 2014 it was extended further again in Dublin City University.
RV 596 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2012 and sold on to another Irish operator.
The building beside the bus was College House. It was built in 1974, and became known as one of the more less attractive buildings in Dublin city centre. It was demolished in 2019 and currently a new building is under construction on the site.

This week we are going back to 1986 and KD 8 in Malahide. The bus is seen at the terminus for route 32A on St. James's Terrace. The 32A can trace its origins back to the GNR(I). In 1958 it passed to CIE but ceased in 1966. However it was back on the network by 1971. The route operated from the city centre via Raheny, Baldoyle and Portmarnock. The route ceased in November 2012 when route 32 was extended to Malahide from Portmarnock. This was not the first time the 32 went to Malahide as some departures terminated there in the late 1960s when the 32A was not operating.
KD 8 was delivered new to CIE in August 1981. It spent the majority of its life in Clontarf Garage, although it spent some months in Conyngham Road Garage in 1996. It was withdrawn around 1998/1999.

We go back to 1976...I do not think that I need to let you know which person in this picture is Sherry...
This week we are going back thirty-five years to 1986 and KC 16 on route 90. The bus is seen at the eastern terminus of the route at Connolly Station. It connected the two main stations in Dublin, Connolly and Heuston in the west. The route travelled along the quays and also provided connections to Bus Aras and Tara Street Station. The route was initially planned as one of the DART feeders to coincide with the introduction of that rail service in 1984. It was however delayed until February 1986. In 2005 the route was extended further east to the IFSC, merging with the short-lived 90A. In 2009 the Luas Red Line opened and this tram route provided another connection between Connolly and Heuston stations. This naturally took passengers from the 90 and the route was cut back to operate just in the morning peak. The route has been suspended since June 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The bus is parked at the entrance to Connolly Station, at the top of the ramp that used to rise up from Amiens Street. This was removed in 2003 in order to become the tram terminus for the Luas Red Line, with the 90 serving a stop on Amiens Street instead.
KC 16 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn in May 1996.

Like I said before I've stumbled on some old photographs which I have retouched recently!! This is one of my favourite of my little sister and cousin . Sometimes I wish they were still this age .
This week we are going back ten years to VT 8 on route 46A. St. Patrick's Day is a good day to see buses on diversion, as the parade through the centre of Dublin closes off main arteries for bus services. With O'Connell Street closed for the parade, a lot of the bus routes (such as the 46A) are diverted onto Gardiner Street on their journey across the city. The 46A started running between the city centre and Dun Laoghaire in 1936. In 2010 it was extended to the Phoenix Park, replacing route 10 under Network Direct changes. It is still running between the Phoenix Park and Dun Laoghaire today.
On the other hand, the same cannot be said of VT 8. This Enviro 500 was one of twenty delivered to Dublin Bus in 2005. A further 50 were delivered in 2007. The first twenty were all withdrawn in 2018, and inroads have been made into the final 50 in recent years (although there are still a handful in service). VT 8 was sold on to Ensignbus in the UK initially, before ending up with Travelmasters of Sheerness.
The ad on the side of the bus is for AIB mobile banking. At the time this was a relatively new concept (doing banking through a phone app), unlike now where it is almost the default practice.

This week we are going back ten years to 2013 and to AV 173 at Beaumont Hospital on route 17A to Kilbarrack. Route 17A started in 1975, running between Finglas and Kilbarrack. At its inception, there was an idea to combine it at some point with the 17 (Dolphin's Barn to Blackrock) to create a full orbital route around Dublin, but this never happened. In 2010 it was extended west to Blanchardstown under Network Direct, and rerouted to serve Beaumont Hospital. Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route in 2018, but in 2022 the route was replaced by new routes N4 and N6 under Bus Connects. The N6 covers the old 17A route between Kilbarrack and Ballymun (including Beaumont Hospital), while the N4 covers the section between Glasnevin Avenue and the Blanchardstown Centre.
AV 175 was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in May 2016 and sold on to another Irish operator.
Beaumont Hospital was founded in 1987.
23/03/2013
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.

Delta Mini Cruiser and Victory Liner Nissan Diesel 401-410 series Airconditioned Bus Unit(original livery)
taken from the movie circa 1980's
Fifty years ago this month a new type of bus took to the streets of Dublin. The Leyland Atlantean D Class was a bit different from the buses that had gone before it, in that it had a front door entrance, and a rear-engine. The class reached a total of 840 members, spread over two types. No subsequent class of bus has reached such high numbers, the AV/X coming closest with 648 members. Also the D Class operated in cities across Ireland, not just Dublin.
D 599 went into service in 1975 and was withdrawn in 1991. Although the first D Class had a nice navy/cream livery, they spent most of their lives in this tan livery, which did not weather well. D 599 is seen on O'Connell Street with a 19 to Glasnevin. 17/11/1987
It is 1999 and a next evolution of double-deck bus for Dublin is about to arrive. DA 2, or 99 D 53451, was a DAF Alexander bus on loan to Dublin Bus from London, along with similar DA 1. It was being evaluated along with other types of low-floor double-decker buses. Up to this point the only low-floor buses within the Dublin Bus fleet were either minibuses (W Class) or the midi-buses (WV Class), the latter of which only started to arrive in 1999. In 1999 Dublin Bus received its 640th and last Olympian. From the following year it started to get Alexander ALX400 bodied buses like DA2 here, but with Volvo engines. In 2012 the entire Dublin Bus double-decker fleet became low floor, improving accessibility across the city for wheelchair users, people with prams and everyone else. DA 2 along with DA1 were with Dublin Bus for approximately the last six months of 1999. They then returned to London and ended their days with Arriva as DLA 124 (DA 2) and DLA 125 (DA1). This bus was withdrawn prior to 2014.
It is seen in Dun Laoghaire on the 46A from the city centre. 08/08/1999

Former Santa Fe GP20 3069, showing no patches whatsoever, sits in Mapleton, IL along the KJRY. This unit had been assigned to the now-departed Decatur Junction Railway but now resides here.
This week we are going back eleven years to 2011 and RV 469 at the route 78A terminus on Aston Quay. This bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1999 and withdrawn in November 2011. It was sold on to Movies on the Move and became a catering vehicle.
Route 78A started in 1957 running between the city centre and Cherry Orchard Hospital on the Ballyfermot Road. Around 1985 it reached Balgaddy and 1997 it moved terminus again to Quarryvale. The following year it extended into Liffey Valley Shopping Centre after in opened. In November 2011 the route was merged into an extended route 40. In October 2022 the 40 was split in two and new route G2 under Bus Connects which basically is old route 78A (with an extension to Spencer Dock).
The bus may no longer be with Dublin Bus, nor the route, but SuperValu in the background is still there in 2022.
