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.
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 It was withdrawn eighteen months later, Although the first bus in the fleet it was not the first to enter service, that honour falling to D 4.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 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 This Volvo Olympian was withdrawn in November 2012, just a few short weeks before the final RV was withdrawn.

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.

This week we are going back thirty-three years to 1993, and to KD 128 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 22A to Drimnagh.
Route 22A started running between Cabra West and Drimnagh. In 1984 the southern terminus was Errigal Gardens, but in 1985 it reached its final terminus on Drimnagh Road. In October 1993, City Imp route 120 started between the city centre and Cabra, which resulted in the 22A running only between Parnell Square and Drimnagh Road. Route 22A was replaced by new City Imp route 121 in December 1997. In its final form the 22A had reverted to a cross-city route, running from Ashington to Drimnagh Road.
KD 128 was new to CIE in 1982. This bus withdrawn by Dublin Bus in early-1999.

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.

From my cruise in April 2012. Had a hair strand on my lips and my wife caught me with this candid shot.
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.
Hard to believe this was a little more than 6 years ago, and only a couple years after I decided I'd start taking pictures of the trains I spent so much time watching during college (rather than, y'know, actually studying anything).
I had ventured up from Bellingham to Vancouver to visit friends and check out the city's preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and found this pair of geeps that had just positioned some heavyweight CP varnish in the yard at Waterfront Station, presumably for railroad executives in town for the Olympics. This was shot through the glass of the walkway from Waterfront Station to the SeaBus ferry slip, so, pardon the reflection.
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.

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!

Watching birds in Miami on July 9, 2012 at 06:54 AM.
Picture taken nearby Miami City Hall.
A lukewarm and very quiet morning.
This fella thought I had sardines in my pockets or something.
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.

Visakhapatnam is a port city and industrial center in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, on the Bay of Bengal. It's known for its many beaches, including Ramakrishna Beach, home to a preserved submarine at the Kursura Submarine Museum. Nearby are the elaborate Kali Temple and the Visakha Museum, an old Dutch bungalow housing local maritime and historical exhibits.
Thanks for your visit.

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 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 is from the spring of 2013. I just did a Star Wars marathon with a lot of friends yesterday so this seemed appropriate.
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.

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.
02/03/1984
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.
