This week we are going back 11 years to 2015, and to GT 4 on Armagh Road with a service on route 17 to Blackrock.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971, with its western terminus becoming Rialto around 1982. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2019, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased to operate in November 2023 under changes brought in by Bus Connects. It was partially replaced by routes 74, S4 and S6. Route 74 now serves this bus stop in Kimmage.
GT 4 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012. Initially allocated to Donnybrook Garage, it moved to Harristown in 2022, and then to Clontarf in 2026. It is a bus that has seen a lot of the city.

The exercise is the MEU's first time at-sea as an entire Marine Air Ground Task Force and gives Marines and sailors the opportunity to become familiar working together as a blue-green team.

This week we are going back twenty-four years to 1999, to a bus that has featured here before, on the same route and in the same location. Except this time there is a better view of the bus.
99 D 73675 is seen in Ringsend and was a DAF Plaxton demonstrator built in 1997. Converted to run on liquified petroleum gas, it was trialled with a few operators in the United Kingdom (as P10 LPG) as well as Dublin Bus. After it returned to the United Kingdom, it was converted to diesel power and operated with Arriva until around 2013.
The bus is operating a service on route 3 to Larkhill, although the destination blind is missing the "h". Route 3 started operating between Whitehall / Larkhill and Sandymount in 1940. For its final twenty years or so of operation, certain departures were extended to / from UCD Belfield. The route was partially replaced on the by new route 1 in 2012 which covered the southside leg through Ringsend and Sandymount. In 2021 this part of the routing was replaced by routes C1 and C2.

This week we are going back forty-two years to 1984 and to KD 288 in Balbriggan, dressed for route 33B to Portrane.
Balbriggan, of course, is not served by route 33B but by route 33. CIE took over this route from the GNR(I) in 1958. It provided a connection between the city centre and Skerries via Rush, with certain departures extended to Balbriggan. CIE took over route 33B from the GNR(I) in the same year. That route connected Swords and Portrane, although it had no route number between 1958 and 1972. From 1975 to 2002, certain departures were extended to the city centre. Go-Ahead Ireland took over route 33B in 2018.
There was a departure on route 33, in each direction, that ran between the city centre and Balbriggan, going via Donabate and Portrane. This started in 1966 when a new secondary school opened in Rush. In 2002 the afternoon trip from Balbriggan via Portrane on the 33 was cancelled, and in 2003 the morning trip from Dublin was shortened to Skerries. In 2018 the Portrane 33 was renumbered 33E.
KD 288 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s.

This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012, and to RV 621 departing Blackrock with a service on route 17 to Dolphin's Barn.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971. Around 1982 its western terminus became Rialto. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2016, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased in November 2023 when Bus Connects brought in new orbital routes on the southside. Route 17 was partially replaced by route S6
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in November 2012.

4th of 5 photos taken on New York Central's (nee-CI&S) Egyptian Line at Sheff, Indiana in 1914 showing the completion of the watering facilities. In this photo, the view appears to be looking S/E from an area south of the tower about 1/2 mile or so, showing the newly installed standpipe on the east side of the main.

my little girl just turned 5 today. I cannot believe how fast time flies!. I already gave up hope of having a child, but God really do work in mysterious ways. She came into our lives unexpectedly. And I am very thankful and blessed because I was given the oppurtunity to be a mom. Happy Birthday to you my Kulit. Mommy and Daddy loves you so much
This is a photo that I took in 2006. Somewhere in Texas. The original had blown highlights and washed out colors. I wanted to see how much I could get out of it with DXO. Happy Slider Sunday!

For our four-hundredth Throwback we are going back forty years to D 400 on Eden Quay. The bus is dressed for route 6. This route started operating between the city centre and Blackrock in 1949, terminating at Castlebyrne Park from 1966. In 1975 it was extended up the Link Road to Abbey Park. The route ceased to operate in 1989. However a new route 6 between the city centre and Howth (going via Shielmartin Road) started in 2021 as part of Bus Connects.
D 400 was new to CIE in 1971. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus at then end of 1987 and sold for scrap.
The ad on the front of the bus is for CDL coal distributors. These were taken over by Bord na Mona in 1995.

This photo is from way back in August, but it is one of my last shoots. I've taken a serious step back from fashion photography recently, not on purpose, it just happened. I got caught up with work, and I am now starting an internship that is going to take up alot of my time.
But I really want to get back into fashion photography, get back into my blog and regularly updating everyone on what I am doing. I seem to write something similar to this a few times a year, but I mean it this time :)
If anyone has any ideas of blogposts I could do, anything you'd like to see. Or if you have any questions for me feel free to get in contact on here or you can email me at emilycharlottegreene@gmail.com or contact me on facebook or tumblr :)

This week we go back forty years to 1984 and KC 75 at the route 27A terminus on Gardiner Street.
Route 27A started running between the city centre and Kilmore in 1967. It reached Coolock around 1983, and Beaumont Hospital in 1988. The route ceased to operate in 1996 when changes took place to route 27. However, it returned to the network in 2011 when it replaced route 42B under Network Direct. This new route operated from the city centre to Blunden Drive via Harmonstown.
KC 75 was new to CIE in March 1984, about three weeks before this photograph was taken. It remained in service until around the year 2000 when it was withdrawn. Although it spent most of its working life in Clontarf Garage, its final years were spent in Donnybrook Garage.

A Throwback Thursday special. Cruising to the Bahamas from Miami in 1962 at age 17. Yes, "Mad Men" is right, we dressed up for every occasion back then. Thus the sport coat.
Getting face-painted for Canada Day 1990. Look! I was only 44 but I still had hair (with a touch of gray).
We drove this car for a long time. Finally we had to get rid of it because we could no longer get parts. We got all of our photo stuff in it for long trips.

A visit back to 2008 this week to see the previous tour livery. On the 7th February 2017, Dublin Bus launched the new brand and livery for the Dublin Bus tours, now called DoDublin. This rebranding replaces the current livery which is a two-tone green with a yellow stripe. That livery itself was introduced in 2008 and replaced the one seen here on AV 328. This bus was not part of the open-top City Tour but rather used on the South Coast Tour and based in Donnybrook Garage. In the peak periods it was used on extra services on the main routes from the garage, such as the 145 as seen here. At this time the route still went to Kilmacanogue via Bray Station. The bus did not last long in the tour fleet and within a few years was part of the normal fleet. It is still clinging on in service today but now operates out of Harristown. The South Coast Tour still operates visiting places such as Powerscourt and Glendalough.
