This week we are going back fifteen years to 2010 and to AV 372 on a snowy O'Connell Street with a service on route 121 to Ratoath Road.
Route 121 started operating between the city centre and Drimnagh Road in 1997. It was a City Imp route, and replaced previous route 22A. In 1998 the route was extended north to Cabra, initially terminating on Faussagh Road, before being extended to Ratoath Road in 1999. The route ceased to operate in 2011 under Network Direct changes. Part of the route on southside was replaced by route 150, but other roads lost their bus service when the route ended.
AV 372 was new to Dublin Bus in 2004. It was withdrawn around 2018 and sold on to another Irish operator.

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 It was withdrawn in 2006 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.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.

Alexandra Diamos met DeGrazia at the UA when the young student was planting olive trees on campus by day and leading the DeGrazia band at night. As she recalled, “The band leader put down his baton and began playing a trumpet that was sweet as honey with long sweeps of pain and longing…and when the soloist finished there was a thunder of applause.” Her father, Fox Theater owner Nicholas Diamos, consented to the marriage with the promise that DeGrazia finish his BA degree. The couple had three children but divorced in 1946. Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week we are going back twenty years to 1997. Dublin Bus was just 10 years old at the time and were considering a new livery for the buses. One optioned considered was to keep two tone green livery (though shades slightly different) with the orange stripe, but to present it in a much more radical way. Two buses received this test livery - double-decker RH 86 and single-decker AD 24. The latter is seen here on O'Connell Sreet operating cross-city route 3 from Sandymount to Larkhill.
In the end Dublin Bus went with a cream/orange/blue livery. O'Connell Street, 19/07/1997
A bunch of throwbacks of a few of my favorite people and myself back in late '00s to early '10s.
Found this collage video on my old cell while backing up deleted files. I didn't even remember this thing still existed LOL. The quality is a total garbage but it is nice to have documented memories of something that once was a big part of your life and made you happy. I just wish we had shot more of these stuff because those probably were the times when I had the most fun in my life. Also, I don't think I will ever be emotionally capable of loving anyone else more than I love these idiots and i can't imagine anything that will ever change that.
The music on the background is Drake Bell's - 'I found a way' from the Drake and Josh TV Show . I think it doesn't need any further explanation as to why.

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 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
Retro gear, retro birds, retro scene.
The Spitfire Mk.1a in the foreground is a veteran of Operation Dynamo.
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...
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
Stumbled onto a really old sent email in an unused school email account and happened to find this shot. I thought this was long gone with hundreds of older photos on my old computer. This was my first days of actually shooting pictures f trains and starting to railfan more seriously. I got this picture with my old POS point and shoot of UP 1983, the WP heritage engine leading a manifest west through Elmhurst back on July 15, 2010. This was one of those random surprise catches while just hanging out be the tracks. tried my best to edit this photo but it was such a shitty quality shot it was hard to do anything with.
Out patrolling in his PC hi rail, Phil Boldman stopped at "Allison Station", located at MP 99.65 on New York Centrals Egyptian Line on July 21st, 1974 and took this photo.
Not much is known about this location. It was located between Sloan ("NX Tower") and Campbell, in the sweeping curve into Illinois. What is known is that it was double-tracked through here, it had a block station as of 1915 open 7 am-7 pm and possibly an elevator. As of 1974, just a sign existed and today, good luck finding anything.
A few from the archives...
Just look at that pot belly hanging out....we sure fixed that, didn't we? 😉
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???
On a cloudy Sunday morning, I encountered a throwback to an earlier era when I caught this northbound on the CN Champaign Subdivision powered by a pair of former Illinois Central SD70s (Nos. 1000 and 1029) in their as-delivered livery.
We are only going back five years this week for Throwback Thursday but to an important event in Dublin Bus history. This date in 2012 marked the second last day of a number of routes, namely the 2,3 and 16A. Other routes were also about to undergo changes, such as the 1, 16 and 44. All of this was part of the Network Direct review. When the 10 was abolished in 2010 it showed that no route was safe, and the 3 was next big casualty. It ran from Larkhill on the northside to UCD Belfield on the southside via Drumcondra and Ringsend. The 2 was a short version that went between the City Centre and Sandymount. Both routes had a lot of history to them but were replaced by a rerouted 1. The original 1 ran between the City Centre and the Pigeon House in the peaks but the new (and current) 1 goes from Santry to Sandymount. On the northside the new 1 replaced the 16, while the 44 replaced the 3 to Larkhill. EV 2 is seen on Townsend Street with a 3 to UCD Belfield while in the background is RV 620 at the then 44 terminus. 11/05/2012
