I had a friend send me this old pic not long back from many many years ago, i think it was one of two places but I'm not sure who's flowers they were but here I am.
This week we are going back seven years to a city terminus that had a relatively short life. GT 101 is seen at the 15A terminus in Dublin's docklands. The destination and the timetable called it Grand Canal Dock. On the destination in brackets, it clarifies the location as Benson Street. However this is not quite accurate. The location is actually Britain Quay. The 15A and the 15B started coming down here in December 2011 following the Network Direct changes. Prior to that it was the terminus of the 74 and 74A from January 2009. Benson Street was meant to be the terminus for the 15A/B, and bus bays were marked out on the road there. However, the last twenty years has seen the docklands area as one large, continuous building site as old dockyard buildings are replaced by modern, multi-storey offices. Benson Street was the location for one of these construction sites for an extended period, thus not making it practical for the buses to go down that far. In fact, the area around Britain Quay became a building site in 2016 and the 15A and 15B moved to a temporary terminus on the Ringsend Road in November 2016. A terminus that was so temporary that both routes still operate from there today. Now no bus route serves this part of Dublin's south quays.
Route 15A started in 1949, running between the city centre and Whitehall Road. It was later extended to Limekiln Farm in the 1970s and still runs there today.
GT 101 was one of eight Wright Geminis delivered new to Dublin Bus in the second half of 2013. It is still in operation with Dublin Bus today. 05/10/2013
Pomona CA Jack, taken during a 1994 visit. Jack's still there, but looks a bit newer. That's my Hertz Ford Aerostar too.

How they haven't reverted back to this styling, I'll never know. I get a big nostalgia rush just looking at these things, partially because they remind me of all the classic films they were used in like Home Alone and Ferris Bueller.
A short trip back this week to 2014, where AX 647 is offering to #ShareACoke. Buses in Dublin used to have a quite a tradition of being wrapped for ad campaigns for Coca Cola but that died off in the late 1990s. 2014 was when the tradition was revived with this campaign. Coca Cola were branding bottles and cans of their product with people's names instead of their more familiar brand name. AX 647 in Donnybrook and AX 601 in Phibsboro received the all-over ads. In 2015 three buses received a more traditional red Coca Cola wrap,but sadly there has been nothing more since then. In 2018 AX 647 received a wrap for Dublin Pride.
Route 61 to Whitechurch commenced in 2011, replacing the 48A and parts of the 15B. Construction of the Rosie Hackett Bridge commenced in 2011 and was completed in 2014. It was built to facilitate the Luas Cross City tramline and trams started crossing over it in 2017.

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.

Ahsoka Tano's Jedi Starfighter. Im missing the clone wars series, along with all the cool sets that came along side. A glorious Lego era it was.
July 1994 finds a one month old AD 22 at the terminus of route 3 within the grounds of UCD Belfield. This bus was one of seventy members of the class that were delivered during 1994, though some did not enter service until 1995. Initially it was based in Donnybrook Garage but had moved to Phibsboro Garge by 1996. In 1999 it spent some time in Waterford while Bus Eireann were waiting for other buses to arrive there. It then returned to Donnybrook Garage in Dublin before ending its career as a school bus for Bus Eireann in Cork in the early-2000s. This was a bus that got around.
The bus was delivered in unbranded CitySwift livery for service in Donnybrook but received all the branding for when it entered service on the 39 in Phibsboro. Donnybrook only had one CitySwift route, the 46a, and it was unsuitable for single-decker buses.
The route 3 ran from Larkhill to Sandymount, with certain departures extended to / from UCD Belfield. The route was initially operated by Ringsend Garage but transferred to Donnybrook Garage for a while in the 1990s and early-2000s before going back to Ringsend. The route itself passed Ringsend Garage. In 2012 the route was removed from the network during the Network Direct changes with a new route 1 taking over most of the 3 route from Sandymount to Collins Avenue. The section from Sandymount to Belfield fly-over was replaced by the 47.
This terminus in UCD Belfield now home to some ducks and swans as a lake was built here during the 2010s. 23/07/1994
KD 361 is seen enjoying the sun on Eden Quay as it rests between duties on route 7 in 1990.
The bus is in an all-over ad for B&I Line, and the ferry services they offer between Dublin/Holyhead and Rosslare/Pembroke. B&I Line started life as the British and Irish Steam Packet Company in 1836. In 1965 it was nationalised by the Irish government, but was privatised again in 1992 when it was taken over by the Irish Continental Group, who also own Irish Ferries. This latter brand is the one that survives to this day, with the B&I name phased out by 1995.
KD 361 was delivered new to Dublin in July 1983 and was withdrawn in 1999. During its time in this all-over ad it visited Cork.
Route 7 connected Eden Quay with Loughlinstown Park, via Dun Laoghaire in 1990.
The skyline in the background is almost unrecognisable now in 2020, with multi-storey developments in the Tara Street area having taken place in the intervening thirty years. 21/05/1990
Today a picture from the archive that I came across a few days ago. Taken in December 2019, but it feels like it was much longer ago.
DeGrazia said, "I had a full beard and was twenty-three when I graduated from high school, into a world hit by the depression, I knew I would be underground all of my life if I didn't succeed at something else." Happy Throwback Thursday!
The right part was a WIP. Just needed to build a roof.
This and my Scarif was be displayed on my first exhibition I've ever attended.
This photo was from my first account and I thought it would be a shame not to post it again. Love you all💕💕💋💋
I moved the cacti and some shelves off cinder blocks to give us a blank wall to work with. My photog friend said the light was too dim so we have a very cluttered b/g. But it's been giving gunge guys pleasure for almost 20 years now. I've heard it's on sites my friend can't even find the link too, mucky pups...gear something so I guess I'm pleased. Of course it's a vague sort of fame.
The Conrail heritage unit leads NS Train 939 across Gage Road in Duanesburg, NY on Saturday, February 28, 2015. This was a nice throwback to some chases I had of Train 169 (the current 939) in the early 2000s--except nicer because this unit isn't faded like the others often were, plus it has the original Conrail scheme as opposed to the "Conrail Quality" version.
Such care free days when this old pic was taken many many years ago when I was living near the beach and would ride my push bike everywhere. Note the two tone hair and chicken legs but super fit and healthy.
