This week we go back twenty years to RV 365 at Dublin Airport on route 230. Route 230 connected the airport with Portmarnock going via Swords and Malahide. It started in 1991 but in 2008 it was merged with the 102 and extended to railway station in Sutton. In 2018 the 102 was taken over by Go-Ahead Ireland.
RV 365 was new to Dublin Bus in 1997 and was withdrawn in 2009. It was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom, and was still in service in Scotland up to at least 2022.
This bus stop at Dublin Airport has been served by a number of routes and operators over the years. Currently it is home to First Aircoach, with the 102 departing from the other side of the Terminal 1 multi-storey carpark.

This week we are going thirty-nine years to 1985 and to D 762 parked just off Strand Street in Dublin 1. This VanHool bus was new to CIE in 1975 and was initially based in Donnybrook Garage. It received this all-over ad for Valspar Paint in 1983. Previously Leyland Atlantean D 189 carried a similar scheme, but before it was withdrawn it was decided that another bus would carry-on wearing the ad. D 762 was chosen. Cross-city route 11 from Griffith Avenue to Closnkeagh was the route of choice for buses in advert liveries, and D 762 became common on it. In 1986 the bus moved to Ringsend Garage, and in 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus. Presumably it lost this all-over ad around the time it moved garages.
This area between Abbey Street and Strand Street was a layover area for buses for many decades. Dublin Bus pulled out in the early-2000s when the Luas Red Line was built along Abbey Street. The Jervis tram stop was built besdie it too. There have been many plans over the years since then to redevelop the site.
Valspar can trace its origins back to 1806 and to Boston in the USA.

I took this selfie with my little Ricoh 5 years ago in Florida a camera that my then best friend gave me as a present, he later became my husband ....i was just diagnose some months before and my life was chaos, it was the very beginning of a long journey...didnt meant to look so sad, but was almost breaking on crying...what was meant to be a nice selfie with make up on...from all i try this one was the best one...my husband loved it so much he used to carry it in his phone...i use not to like it that much and maybe i still don't...but is a time capsule to me...its great to be able to look back and see....
Good night you all!
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).
As it’s throwback Thursday I thought I’d post an old photo of me in a jump suit before going out to Delmonicas in Glasgow
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
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.

Teilte eure Fotos zum Thema #revolutionär mit uns auf Facebook.
Dafür einfach den Link zu eurem Foto auf Flickr im Kommentarfeld hinterlassen. Die besten Bilder präsentieren wir dann nächste Woche im Flickr Blog!
Viel Spaß!

Maschinen (#Machines) haben unser Leben grundlegend verändert. Auf Knopfdruck erledigt sich die Arbeit fast wie von selbst - Arbeit für die sich unsere Vorfahren noch abplagen mussten. Das ist auch der Grund, warum es so viele Fotos von stolzen Männern und Frauen gibt, die vor ihren neuesten Errungenschaften posieren - sei es einem Traktor, einer Waschmaschine oder einem Drucker . . .
Diese Woche wollen wir bei #TBT den Fortschritt feiern und ein Blick auf die Maschinen werfen, die unser Leben so vereinfacht haben.
Teilt daher eure alten Fotos zum Thema Maschinen (#Machines) mit uns auf Facebook oder Twitter. Postet dafür die URL eures Flickr-Fotos entweder im Kommentarfeld auf unserer Facebook-Seite oder Twitter unter Verwendung folgender Hashtags: @Flickr #TBT #Machines
Eine Auswahl der besten Bilder zeigen wir im Anschluss Flickr Blog.

This week we are going back nineteen years to 2006, and to RA 186 on O'Connell Street displaying route 14 to Ballinteer.
Route 14 started running (as a bus route) between the city centre and Dartry in 1948. From 1953 its northern terminus was moved to Annamoe Road, before reaching the Phoenix Park in 1955. In the same year it reached Churchtown on the southside. Around 1988 it was cut back on the northside to the city centre, and in 1995 it reached Ballinteer. Around 2005 it was extended to Dundrum. In 2011 it was merged with route 20B under Network Direct, and it became a cross-city route from Ardlea Road (Beaumont) to Dundrum. The city centre routing took it along Eden Quay instead of O'Connell Street.
RA 186 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. It was withdrawn in late-2006, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
