LOL!....I can't believe how old this pic is but here we are being Throwback Thursday.
I was actually on my way out to....of all things a horse race with some like minded friends...from memory I had the best time and way too much champagne on the day.
This week we are only going back a decade, and to the north County Dublin coastal town of Skerries. AV 269 is seen about to drop off passengers while doing an evening trip on the 33 from Dublin to Balbriggan. The route can trace its origin back to the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) and started around 1929/1930. The railway company also provided railway services between Dublin, Skerries and Balbriggan (and to destinations further north). In 1958 the bus and rail services passed to CIE. It was only from the mid-1960s on did more and more services on the 33 get extended to Balbriggan.
AV 269 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2002 and started its career in Summerhill Garage. However, to be specific, it was initially based at the Skerries out-station, along with AV 266, 267 and 268. Thus it started its career on the 33 and was a regular on it for a number of years. It was withdrawn around 2015 and currently is in private ownership doing The Gravedigger Tour (though not during the Covid-19 lockdown).
The bus stop is worth noting as it does not have the stop number on it. This was just before every bus stop received an identifiable number that was tied into the real-time passenger information system.

A short throwback this week to 2007. EV 7 is seen on O'Connell Street with route 3 from Larkhill to UCD Belfield. The bus was brand new at the time, and marked a change from the ALX 400 which Dublin Bus had ordered from 2000. This bus was allocated to Ringsend Garage and is still there today. The route however is not. Most of it became route 1 while on the northside the bit to Larkhill became the 44. The bus stop it is calling at lists many bus routes no longer with us, including: 1 (the original route to Pigeon House), 2, 3, 11A and 121. Note the bus stop is also in blue and an older style compared to the one their today. 12/10/2007
Das Motto bei #TBT diese Woche lautet Städte (#Cities).

Kennt ihr schon die Flickr Commons? Diese Ansicht von Stockholm aus dem Jahr 1945 stammt vom Account des Swedish National Heritage Board.
It is the last (or second last) year of the millennium and RV 403 is standing in the rain on Abbey Street. The bus is seen after arriving with a 43 from Swords. The 43 route number was first used in 1925 when the DUTC launched their first bus route. It ran between the city centre and Killester. The route was subsequently merged into the 54 and 54A around 1939. The number was resurrected in 1985 for the current route which runs to Swords via the Malahide Road and Kinsealy. Whereas the 41 and 41C terminate in west Swords, the 43 terminates on the eastern side in Swords Business Park. Also, unlike the 41s which operate out of Summerhill Garage, this route operates from Clontarf Garage. Over the years it has had termini on Beresford Place, Abbey Street and Eden Quay. Currently it uses Talbot Street.
RV 403 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1998 and was withdrawn in 2008. It then moved to the UK and was in service on their school duties until at least 2018, working in the Birmingham and Daventry areas.
Although this livery had been around for around 2 years at this point, it is worth noting the bus stop is still in Dublin Bus green. 06/02/1999
A brief hop back to 2013 this week. This was a time just before Luas Cross City works came to O'Connell Street and started to alter the main thoroughfare in the capital. Where the bin is located there are now Luas tracks, with the first tram due to pass here in three months time. The bus, AX 545 is part of the Wedding Bus fleet which is currently being phased out and absorbed back into the standard fleet. Thus the bus will lose some of uniqueness. This bus, based in Donnybrook, was part of a pretty unique sequence with AX 542 and 543 part of the Coastal Tour fleet and 544 becoming the 1916 bus in 2016. Unlike in the picture, AX 545 now has a LED destination display rather than the DMD shown here. I am not sure if this destination is still possible on the bus... O'Connell Street. 23/03/2013
This image was my all time highest viewed until I was told to remove it due to new content rules!
And I can also add that this suit never actually made it into retirement. Just couldn't bring myself to throw it out. It still gets a trip out once in a while!
Phil Boldman took this shot while hi-railing the NYC's Danville secondary on July 22nd, 1974. At this time, it was Penn Central and would soon be Conrail. This view was taken from MP 68 looking north towards Sheff at an old location known as "York". This location was between Sheff, Indiana and Free, Indiana. The bridge in the distance was used by the "York-Richland Elevator" and was located at MP 67.65. The NYC did have this location in the timetable as "York Switch" and "Hawkins", but only in the early days. This bridge was abandoned when Phil took this photo. The line was seeing little use and in 6 years, would be hosting Milwaukee Road trains.

It is 1998 and a low-emissions trial is taking place with Dublin Bus. The previous year saw five low-floor single-deckers delivered to Dublin Bus. These in themselves were a novelty as they represented some of the first wheel-chair accessible buses in the fleet. The W-Class minibuses were another example. VL 1-5 were operated out of Donnybrook Garage and were mostly confined to routes 1,2 and 3. Passengers could identify which services they were on by the departure times in the timetable being written in red.
VL 6 arrived in 1998, and unlike the other 5, used natural gas as a power source. The trial was run in conjunction with Bord Gáis and the bus was used in service on routes 1,2 and 3. Whereas the other VLs survived with Dublin Bus until 2009, this one left the fleet in 2000. 19 years later, in early-2019, a number of buses have been on trial in Dublin and Cork to test alternative fuels to diesel that could reduce emissions. At least one of these trial buses involved natural gas.
Route 2 was a shortened version of route 3, providing extra capacity on the southside and only going as far as Parnell Square on the northside. It was merged into the new route 1 under Network Direct in 2012. O'Connell Street, 09/05/1998
Was looking through photos on my phone & realised I never posted three of Warhol when I took her up to Hahndorf (a town in the hills I like to visit) last year.
This week for Throwback Thursday we are going back to 1999 and visiting a route that survived four months. on the 14th June route 61A commenced though it was more commonly known as "Hotel Link". It ran in a loop to/from Bus Aras and served Mount Street, Lansdowne Road, Leeson Street and Christchurch and was designed to connect the hotels with the City Centre. It was advertised as "A chauffeur driven Merc for £1" and the minibuses for the route were painted in a modified Airlink livery. Sadly it did not last and the route was withdrawn on the 17th October 1999.
The buses then transferred to a new bus route, 321, which commenced on the 6th December 1999 but this route only lasted until 1st April 2000.
Today Dublin Bus operate route 705 which is a hotel shuttle that operates in connection with the City Tour. ME 23 is seen at Bus Aras. 15/06/1999
This week we are going back nine years to 2016 (the year this series started) and to EV 49 at the station in Skerries with a service on route 33 to Balbriggan.
CIE started operating route 33 between the city centre and Skerries in 1958, when they took over the route from the Great Northern Railway (Ireland). The 33 went via Swords, Lusk and Rush. Certain departures on the route operated to Balbriggan, and the route basically operates the same today.
Some buses were, and still are, parked overnight at the railway station in Skerries. This is evidenced here by the shed in the background and SG 106 parked beside it. Driver changes can also happen here, which is why EV 49 is at the station. Most services on the 33 do not serve the station directly like this.
EV 49 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007. In 2017 it joined the DoDublin Tour, operated by Dublin Bus, and became an open-top bus.
SG 106 was new to Dublin Bus in 2015, and is still in service today.

I was sorting some old photos and found some that I had taken in the production area where I was employed as a graphic designer. Without all these machines and pieces of various equipment it would not matter that we upfront spent time to design a beautiful piece of art or that our sales staff worked hard to secure the account because without production and all the pieces of machinery we could not produce the final (book, magazine, brochure, poster, etc) that shipped to the public which enabled us to stay open for business. Yeah for machines . . .
This week we are going back eleven years to AX 471 on Adelaide Road with a service on route 15 to Ballycullen Road.
Route 15 started running between the city centre and Hazelbrook Road in 1948. it ceased to operate in 1964, but returned in 1988, running to Scholarstown Road. In 2011 it was merged with route 128 under Network Direct, becoming a cross-city route from Clongriffin to Stocking Avenue. In 2012 the terminus was moved from Stocking Avenue to Ballycullen Road.
AX 471 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2019 and sold on to another operator.
Adelaide Road used to be a busy road for bus routes, such as the 14, 15, 15A, 15B, 44, 61, 140 and 142. In January 2015 these routes (except the 44 and 61) were diverted away from Adelaide Road, going via Dame Street and George's Street instead.

...Don't tell me you didn't know that my street work can now be seen at my secondary Tumblr blog, www.tumblr.com/blog/smilefromthestreetsyoushoot. Amazing, isn't it? Enjoy it then, why not? Of course you will. I know it, you know it.
The last time I remember seeing an SD60M on the Shoreline Sub was in 2007 when four of them powered a ballast train, so, yes, you could consider this appearance of a three-windowed SD60M on the point of a Sheboygan hopper train a bit of an anomaly in 2014.
It is 2012 and the sun is setting on RV 568 at UCD Belfield. The bus is operating route 17 from Rialto to the DART station at Blackrock. This was, and still is, a popular route with students of the college.It is one of the orbital routes in Dublin and connects places like Crumlin, Rathfarnham and Dundrum as it crosses the southern part of the city. However it was one the routes that the NTA put up for tender, and by the end of 2018 it will probably be operated by Go-Ahead. If not in 2018, it definitely will be in 2019 as that company takes over the orbital routes.
The sun literally did set on RV 568 in 2012 as Dublin Bus withdrew the last of the Olympians. A Donnybrook bus when the picture was taken, it spent its final weeks in Summerhill before ending its days in service in October.
This bus stop in UCD Belfield is also now gone, and is the location of a lake with some ducks and swans. 18/01/ 2012
