Throwback Thursday shots previously unreleased. A different stiletto heel for this shot in my favorite "CFM Pumps." Shot on Polaroid by Owen Jones in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Shot was digitized from the original Polaroid.
This week we are going back eleven years to 2012, and to RV 584 at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre. On this day, October 13th, an enthusiast trip was organised by Dublin Bus to mark the end of the Volvo Olympian buses (as well as the end of the high-floor buses). RV 584 and RV 586 visited a number of locations around the city, following certain bus routes. Both buses had been delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999 and within a week of the trip, both had been withdrawn. Both were sold on to other Irish operators. The actual last Olympian to run in passenger service was RV 560 on the 19th December 2012.
In the background is AV 405 on route 40. This had been the terminus of the 40 since 2011, when the route had been merged with the 78 and 78A. It was cut back again in 2022 when route G2 started under Bus Connects. In 2023 this stop was remodelled to become just an intermediate stop as a new bus interchange opened at the front of the shopping centre. AV 405 was withdrawn around the start of 2019, and sold on to another Irish operator. In just over a decade, everything in this scene has changed. Even the bus livery is on the way out.

DeGrazia built the Mission in the Sun in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe calling the mission his most durable and important piece of art. “The mission will have no functional purpose. It will be a place of beauty where I can go and hide.” Happy Throwback Thursday!

Throwback Thursday this week is going back to 1993 and a time of great change in Dublin Bus. In 1992 Dublin Bus introduced the City Imp concept onto the streets of Dublin. The yellow/red minibuses took over routes were passenger numbers were falling and operated at high frequencies, serving the housing estates on the north and southside of Dublin. The following year Dublin Bus introduced the concept of Dity Swift. Again it operated at high frequencies, up to every six minutes, but served destinations further out from the city centre. New buses were introduced on the route in an eye-catching new livery, as well as new style bus shelters, some of which contained pay-phones.
The first route to go over to CitySwift was the 39 on the 6th June 1993. Other routes eventually included routes such as the 25A, 27, 46A and the change normally happened as the Quality Bus Network was rolled out. The City Swift concept only lasted about a decade. P 17 loads up at the Abbey Street terminus prior to departing for Clonsilla. 09/06/1993
A few from the archives...
Just look at that pot belly hanging out....we sure fixed that, didn't we? 😉
I happened to get this old car going by the old building. I figured I would edit to make the pic look old.
This week for Throwback Thursday we are going back to 1984. KC 78 is seen at Howth Summit on route 88. This route was introduced to replace the Hill of Howth Tram. It later became a DART Feeder service in 1984 before being withdrawn in 1988. In more recent times the 31C connected Sutton, Howth Summit and Howth but this service too was withdrawn a number of years ago. Today the 31A is the route that is closest to the 88. 06/08/1984
I dug up and old photo of me and Zach during my freshman year! He's married to Kim now but he sure knew how to have a good time.
P.S. He was my first blowjob.
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1998 and to RA 191 at the route 45A terminus in Dun Laoghaire.
From 1936 to 1942, route 45A operated between the city centre and Bray. It was then cut back from the city centre to Dun Laoghaire due to fuel shortages caused by the Second World War. From around 1985 to around 1996 it was extended to Ballywaltrim. It was then cut back to Bray Station, before returning to Ballywaltrim in 2004. It was extended to Kilmacanogue in 2015, and Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route in October 2018.
RA 191 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. It was withdrawn in 2006 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
The bus is in an all-over ad for Heinz Beans. The bus carried this ad for about 6 years.

2010 finds AV 401 on Hawkins Street dressed for route 51B. This Volvo ALX400 was new to Dublin Bus in 2005 and was withdrawn around the end of 2018. It was then sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 51B started running between the city centre and Bawnogue in 1981, but moved to Dunawley around 1998. The year before, in 1997, it became a CitySwift route, replacing the 51 as the main bus route to Clondalkin. The business park at Grange Castle became its terminus in 2004 and remained so until the route was absorbed into the new, cross-city route 13 in October 2011 under the Network Direct revisions. 08/11/2010
This week we are going back fifteen years to 2009 and to EV 6 on Custom House Quay with a service on route 33D to Donabate and Portrane.
Route 33D started operating between Portrane, Donabate and the city centre following the collapse of the Broadmeadow Viaduct in Malahide, in August 2009. When the railway line was shut, Dublin Bus had to increase services in north County Dublin to compensate for the loss of the train service. Route 33X to Skerries was ramped up and route 33D was introduced running via the Dublin Port Tunnel. When the railway line reopened in November 2009, the 33D maintained a service in each direction during the weekday peaks.
EV 6 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was withdrawn in 2024.

This week's Throwback Thursday is quite simple to describe - it is a KD, it's on St, Stephen's Green and it is in an all-over ad for "McKenna's Electric".
KD 236 was delivered to Donnybrook Garage around 1982, as part of a batch of 14 buses that started with KD 223. According to Wikipedia KD 236 entered preservation at the end of its career with Dublin Bus.
McKenna's Electric was run by the same family that owns the Power City stores throughout Ireland. St. Stephen's Green, 11/07/1991
Now this really is a throwback image! I can't place the year entirely accurately but it is probably around 2003! What happened to this fresh faced young lady???
A recent comment on an older pic posted here reminded me of how much I loved the way I looked in this dress...not sure if it still fits...perhaps it's time for another 'Then & Now' shoot.
This stranger who worked as a driver for someone asked me to take his picture when he saw me lugging around a bigass camera back in Assam, India. Can't say he was unhappy with the results.
Retro gear, retro birds, retro scene.
The Spitfire Mk.1a in the foreground is a veteran of Operation Dynamo.
A throwback in time at Lago d’Orta in 2012 where I met my dear friend Paolo (since 2009) for the first time in real life. We met through Flickr and have kept in touch via Flickr, Instagram and Facebook. A strong friendship where we have supported each other through tough and joyful times…
As mentioned through other posts on different media, we finally met again in Paolo’s hometown Biella and our friendship grown even more….
This is the power of SoMe, that gives the opportunity to connect with peers through mutual interests and sometimes you are very lucky that those friendships also can exists in the real world…

Un tuffo nel passato al Lago d'Orta nel 2012, dove ho incontrato per la prima volta di persona il mio caro amico Paolo (dal 2009). Ci siamo conosciuti tramite Flickr e da allora siamo rimasti in contatto attraverso Flickr, Instagram e Facebook. Un'amicizia forte, in cui ci siamo supportati a vicenda nei momenti difficili e in quelli felici…
Come ho già accennato in altri post sui vari social, ci siamo finalmente rivisti a Biella, la città natale di Paolo, e la nostra amicizia è cresciuta ancora di più…
Questo è il potere dei social media: offrono l'opportunità di connettersi con persone che condividono interessi comuni e, a volte, si ha la fortuna che queste amicizie possano esistere anche nella vita reale…

A new year and a new idea. I plan on adopting the "Throwback Thursday" idea and posting a photograph from the archives every Thursday.
First up is a shot of RH 145 at Bray Station with an 84 to Kilcoole. 07/01/1995
We've been digging through a decade of press clippings about the gallery this week. Here's one of our favorite images from the stack. The Santa Fean interviewed Lawrence in January 2012 about the rise of "higher end" offerings on the Santa Fe art market. Learn more here: thematthewsgallery.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=195&a...
