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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1991.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.

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 ^_^

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 It started life in Clontarf Garage but was withdrawn in 1976.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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 1989 and passed to the Transport Museum in Howth as a source of spare parts.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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in March 1987.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.

I have now formally resigned from my previous position within the SAF.
Or, rather, I leave at year end.
My boss have somehow turned sentimental, and is therefore sending me old pictures from our, infamous, archive.
He took this picture, and I can remember when it was and what had happened here.
If you are interested, look for details in this photo.
I can today not believe I was so sure of things, and so ignorant that I didn´t even wear a helmet.
People get older and wiser, I am sure about the getting older part, but not that about getting wiser.
I will keep running through the jungle until i die.
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.

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

This week we are going back thirty-nine years to D 516 in Finglas.
The bus isn't showing a route number, and is displaying "City Centre via Whitworth Road". However, it is turning off Cardiffsbridge Road onto Cappagh Road, which was not the way any bus route took to get to city centre. However, it was the routing of route 40A, and the lack of passengers on board suggests it may have been working out to the 40A terminus to a do a service back into the city.
Route 40A started running between the city centre and Finglas in 1932. From the start until 1995, its terminus was on the Cappagh Road, with some services terminating at Cappagh Hospital. From 1995 to 2001 it terminated at Finglas Place. Then it moved to St. Margaret's Road until 2009, before gaining Charlestown as its final terminus. To route ceased to operate in 2011 under Network Direct changes.
D 516 was new to CIE in 1973, and was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1991.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1985 and D 752 on Aston Quay. The bus is dressed for route 56A. This route started operating around 1982 between the city centre and Ballymount. Around 1985 it was extended to Fettercairn and in 1990 to The Square in Tallaght, where it remains to this day. Walkinstown Avenue shown on the bus was the terminus for route 56, which ceased to operate around 1985, having started in 1956. Since 2018, the 56A (operated by Dublin Bus) also holds the distinction of being the only bus route to pass the bus depot for Go-Ahead Ireland in Ballymount.
D 752 was delivered new to CIE in 1976. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994, having spent all its life operating out of Ringsend Garage.
25/01/1985
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 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 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.

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
This week we are going back fourteen years to 2008 and RV 559 departing UCD Belfield on route 746 to Dublin Airport. The bus is not operating an official service on the 746. At the time it was based in Harristown Garage and in the morning was a regular performer on Xpresso route 41X from Swords to UCD Belfield. Instead of working back empty to the garage, it did an extra service on the 746 from UCD Belfield to the Airport. From there it was a short run back to the garage. This was not the only bus to do things like this. UCD Belfield was the terminus for many Xpresso routes in the morning peak, and a lot of these buses did extra journeys on route 10, 46A, and 746 while heading back to the garage before returning for the evening rush.
The official route 746 started running between Dun Laoghaire and Dublin Airport in 2000 and ceased in 2010 under Network Direct changes.
RV 559 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. This Volvo Olympian was withdrawn in November 2012, just a few short weeks before the final RV was withdrawn.
06/10/2008
2012 finds AV 374 arriving into the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre with a service on route 220 to Lady's Well Road. This route started running between Lady's Well Road / Ladyswell Road, in Mulhuddart, and Finglas around 1989. In 1990 it was extended east to Ballymun. Although route 17A also connected Blanchardstown, Finglas and Ballymun, it went a more direct way than the 220 which also served Finglas South and Poppintree. In 2019 Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route, and it was extended to DCU.
AV 374 was new to Dublin Bus in 2004. This ALX400 was withdrawn in 2017 and sold on to another Irish operator in 2018.
02/11/2012
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
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.

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
From my cruise in April 2012. Had a hair strand on my lips and my wife caught me with this candid shot.
This week we are only going back nine years to EV 21 on Abbey Street with a service on route 31B to Howth Summit. This route started in 1988, originally running to Howth Station via Carrickbrack Road and Howth Summit. In the early 2000s it was cut back to just Howth Summit, operating via Strand Road in Sutton, as well as Carrickbrack Road. The route ended in June 2021 when the Bus Connects network started its roll-out. The 31B, and the similar 31A, were replaced by new route 6.
EV 21 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was initially based out of Clontarf Garage, but in 2016 the Enviro 400 joined the Dublin Bus tour fleet and lost most of its roof for its new duties. In the background is former Dublin Bus RV 522 in the livery of its new owners - Irlanda Tours.
EV 21 is turning off Marlborough Street onto Abbey Street. In the foreground is the Luas Red Line. Today the Luas Green Line crosses the Red Line at this point as it heads south along Marlborough Street.
