This week we are going back forty-one years to 1983 and to to D 137 on Hawkins Street. The bus destination blinds are showing (in Irish) Rathmines and Rathgar, as well as "Via Rathmines". Along with the lack of route number, its not easy to figure out what route it was on. However, being on Hawkins Street can help deduce it was on either a 47A or 47B, and with the bus in the background on a 47B to Grange Road, we may assume it was probably on the 47A. This route started running between the city centre and Churchtown in 1932. At the time the photograph was taken, the Churchtown terminus was on Landscape Road. The route briefly disappeared around 1984, but reappeared in 1989, but this time it ran to Rockbrook. In 1999 the route, along with the 47 and 47B was completely removed from the network.
D 137 was new to CIE in 1967. It was withdrawn four months after this picture ws taken, in June 1983.
The New Metropole cinema behind the bus opened in 1972 but closed in 2016 (as the Screen Cinema). It was then demolished and a new building is currently being erected in its place.

Not an original rover by any means, but Kenny made a little extra this month by exceeding his Futuron tech theft quotas, and decided to upgrade his rims.
My Dad gave me this camera he used to use around the time I was born, (45years ago)! Soon I will be using it to capture photos!
This week we are going back twelve years to 2012, and to VG 16 with a service on route 142 to Rathmines, as the sun rises over Malahide.
Route 142 started as a peak-extra that operated between Portmarnock and Palmerston Park in 2007. It reached the city centre by going via Malahide and the Dublin Port Tunnel. In 2013 it was extended south via Milltown and Bird Avenue to terminate at the old route 11B terminus within UCD Belfield. This peak-hour service was operated by Harristown Garage, but in 2014 a shorter version of the route was introduced between the peaks, operated by Donnybrook Garage. This version ran from UCD Belfield to Portobello, terminating on Charlotte Way. The off-peak route was suspended in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has yet to return. The peak 142 via Malahide still operates.
VG 16 was new to Dublin Bus in 2008, and it is still in service today. It lost its Dublin Bus livery in 2022 and gained Transport for Ireland livery instead.

After DeGrazia made the realization that galleries were not interested in exhibiting his artwork, he decided to build his own. In 1944 he bought an acre of land with $25 down at the corner of Prince Road and Campbell Avenue to build his first adobe studio. Happy Throwback Thursday!

A can containing 12 cold, refreshing ounces of Pepsi Throwback. For that bold, crisp, and clean taste of Pepsi cola you remember, choose classic Pepsi with real sugar. It's the choice of the past and the future. It's the choice of yesterday and tomorrow. It's the real choice of the new generation.

This week we go back twenty-three years to 2002 and to MV 65 partially dressed for route 134 on Abbey Street.
Route 134 was a City Imp route that started in 1995. It ran between the city centre and McKelvey Avenue in Finglas, going via Church Street and Glasnevin. It was a replacement for route 34, but it itself was replaced around 2003 when it was merged into route 83 (the first City Imp route). The new cross-city route ran from Kimmage to Finglas.
MV 65 was one of twenty-five MV Class minibuses new to Dublin Bus between 1997 and 1998. They were a follow-on to the ME Class. They were withdrawn from service around 2004 / 2005.
This side of Abbey Street is now home to the tram tracks of the Luas Red Line.

This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1993 and to RH 136 at Dublin Airport.
This Leyland Olympian was new to Dublin Bus in 1992. The bus was one of a batch that was delivered without ad-frames as a new design was being implemented. The bus was withdrawn in 2006 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
The bus is operating a service on the Airport Express service. CIE, and later Dublin Bus, ran an express service to Dublin Airport from the city centre for many decades. In its final form, as Airlink route 747, it last ran in early-2020. It was then suspended because of the Covid-19 pandemic and then cancelled completely in 2021.

This week we are going back fifteen years to RV 422 passing the main entrance to UCD Belfield with a service on route 7B to Dublin city centre.
This Volvo Olympian was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 7B started running between Shankill and the city centre in 2001. This was a weekday, peak-only route. Whereas the traditional route 7 reached the city centre by going along the Rock Road, this route and the 7D, which started around the same time, made use of the Stillorgan QBC. The route still runs today.
University College Dublin (UCD) started its move from the city centre to Belfield campus in 1964 when the Faculty of Science opened. Since then the campus has grown a lot, and the university is the largest in Ireland.

Today I went to Chicago Outdoor Film Festival at Butler Field. Todays screening was of "Duck Soup". There was also the record attempt for "the most people wearing Groucho Marx glasses." The previous record was 4,077 people that wore the glasses all at the same time for a period of 10 mins. Chicago became the victor of the Guinness book record at 4,400. Sweet!?
Here is some information on Groucho Marx if you don't know who he is (courtesy of wikipedia):
