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 Both buses had been delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999 and within a week of the trip, both had been withdrawn.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 AV 405 was withdrawn around the start of 2019, and sold on to another Irish operator.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.

Probably taken around 2012. My two GG friends had come over for drinks and dinner and bought some hand me downs for me to try on......what a great nite filled with lots of laughter.... mainly at me and my lousy modeling skills lol.
Well, sort of. Vintage late 1960's dress with a pair of 6 inch stilettos which I haven't worn in quite some time.
Yet more West Cumbrian sunshine serves to illuminate Tuesday's 6K73 Sellafield - Crewe flask train.
Nos.57003 & 57007 power a trio of FNAs away from the more southerly of Kirksanton's two level-crossings.
Each crossing has a dedicated keeper with ground-frames operating all the guarding signals, in fact a signalling cable can be seen running lineside.
Throwback to this time last year. @tripack_raceteam 5th at National Triathlon Relays. It's that weekend again. Literally cannot wait to see the lads again and have another crack at it.
I took this photo about 12 months ago, before I built the drawer and shelf unit on the passenger side. It was nice to have my bike so handy, and I miss the bike, but adding drawers and shelves has made a significant difference in van-livability.
That time it seemed like CSX was piling up once a month in Western New York, I happened to be in Johnstown, PA visiting family. One afternoon I slid out to Cresson and was caught off guard by Q118 detouring up the mountain. This was Labor Day weekend 2006 and back before Facebook groups were giving heads up. Not only was it cool to see something special but it was a complete surprise too.
Yas she is one of my fav models of all time. AND I am totally convinced that she is inspiration behind my favorite Fashion Royalty sculpt Dominique Makéda. I see so many similarities in the two. I have NEVER seen a bad picture of Queen Iman I SWEAR.

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 . . .
Back in the summer of 2006, a pair of bluebonnet SD40-2s lead the 102 local west through Lockport, IL. SD40-2s were almost a every day occurrence on this train, now it's nothing but B40-8Ws.
I cut it short cuz it was so hot here that time and I felt uncomfortable cuz my hair kept falling. So I cut my hair short to restart doing proper hair care and let my hair grow healthily this time
For this Throwback Thursday I have something REALLY old. A Flipnote titled: Mario V.S. Sonic. (I also modified it with Premiere Pro)
If you are unaware, a flipnote (or at least the type I'm speaking of) is an animation made with the Flipnote Studio that came with most DSi. (I'm just gonna' assume that's the plural.) I made a few things but I never got too far on anything. (Which is why the video is only 15 seconds. :P) Well, that is to say, I never got far on anything remotely good... I have dozens of flipnotes I am way too embarassed to post...
Poll time! What should I do?
1. Finish this flipnote
2. Make a new flipnote
3. Post an embarassing flipnote
4. "Whatever you want to do." and other useless yet understandable feedback.
:P
I was probably feeling a little silly here. I hadn't been doing this sort of pose for long at this point....and it totally flew in the face of everything I had been taught. Though needless to say...I eventually got over it. 😉

A trip back to 2009 this week and AV 125 is seen on O'Connell Street with a 747 to the Airport. This bus was delivered in 2000 and replaced high-floor RVs on the premium Dublin Bus service to the airport. However in 2009 these buses were nearing the end of their days on this route as new VG double-deckers from Wrights were being delivered at this time. The Airlink AVs were absorbed into the standard fleet and spent most of their time on the 16. AV 125 memorably had an engine fire on O'Connell Street on Christmas Eve, 2007, but as can be seen here the bus returned to service. It still runs today but on an open-top tour in Belfast. This livery was introduced around 2006 and is still in use today, as are the 2009 VGs. 26/01/2009
Another trip back to 2008 this week to a bus route that is now no more. AV 64 is seen arriving at the railway station in Sutton with a 31C from Howth. This route operated between the two villages via Howth Summit. The route itself was brought in in 2005 and pretty much followed the same routing as the former route 88, which itself was brought in to replace the Hill of Howth tram. The 31C lasted until approximately 2009 when it was abolished through a network review, along with a few other little-used routes. The 31 and 31B provided a service to parts of Howth Head previously served by the 31C.
AV 64 went on to have an interesting career when it finished in public service - it became one of the two vehicles used on the Ghost Bus Tour and is still in service in 2017. Sutton Station, 12/03/2008
