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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus at then end of 1987 and sold for scrap.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.

If you’re furry and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re furry and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re furry and you know it, then your chest will surely show it! If you’re furry and you know it, clap your hands! 👏
Not a good picture, but documentation of my first attempt at a beard. Late 1981 or early 1982. God, I had hair back then!
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.

Thought I'd throw up this neat clip of a Chicago-Stockton stacker powering up from a stop at a rural crossing west of Dallas City, Illinois from Sep. 11, 2015.
A journey back to 2001 this week with RV 327 on the 14 to Ballinteer. This bus was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1997, and along with RV 326 had the distinction of being the last new buses delivered in two-tone green. The bus was in Donnybrook from new and started its working career on the 14/A, where it stayed for many years. It was subsequently sold to a UK operator and was still being used in 2017, twenty years after delivery to Dublin.
The 14 at this time operated from the City Centre to Ballinteer, whereas now it is a cross-city route from Beaumont to Dundrum.
Finally it is in an all-over ad for TV 3, Ireland's first commercial national television station which started broadcasting in 1998. Nassau Street, 01/06/2001
Throwback to August 2013 during my holiday to the Belgian coastal 'party-town' of Ostend.
Seen parked in Ostend coach park is Skills, Nottingham SIL 9543, a Scania K114 Berkhof Axial which was new to Leon's, Stafford as FT06 LCT in March 2006.
..to a couple months ago. Forgot to post this neat consist that was on the point of a LINGAL manifest, caught in Burlington, Ia.
A little something to change things up from current events...NBWA (I think that's what they were calling the slurry back then) creeps out of the Hoosac Tunnel at the breathtaking speed of the pre-PAS Freight Main on a steamy Saturday in June 2009. MEC 504 leads MEC 371 and 517, forming what was at the time a clean, matched consist of grey & orange.
This week we are going back eleven years to 2015, and to AV 160 on a wet O'Connell Street with a service on route 122 to Ashington.
Route 122 started running between Drimnagh Road on the southside and Ashington on the northside in June 1998. This was a City Imp route that replaced previous route 22. It has been pretty consistent since then, although the routing in Rialto area was changed in 2011 following the end of route 19 under Network Direct, and the routing through Drimnagh was changed in 2025 with the launch of new route 73 under Bus Connects.
AV 160 was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2015 and sold on to another Irish operator. It became a tour bus for the 1916 Rising in 2016.
This bus stop on O'Connell Street closed when work started on the Luas Cross City line at the start of 2016.

The store seemed to have a 1970's throwback vibe to it with the flagstone on the exterior (to match the rest of the shopping center) and these colonial-style lamps everywhere in the store. I have seen these same lights used as register lights in the Washington DC Chinatown Giant.
This 65,000 sq. ft. former Pathmark held its Grand Opening as "The Fresh Grocer", just over the Philadelphia border in Cedarbrook Plaza in Wyncote, PA.
Cedarbrook Plaza is a former enclosed mall opened in 1964 with Korvette's and Pantry Pride as its anchor stores. The mall declined in the 80's when both Korvette's and Food Fair/Pantry Pride went bankrupt, and the property was blighted before being de-malled in the 90's. It now functions as an awkward 4-sided shopping plaza. The 65,000 sq. ft. Pathmark was added as an outparcel in 1995 and closed with the bankruptcy of A&P in 2015.
The Fresh Grocer has completely remade the inside of the store, adding a beer garden, hot food bars, a sit-down cafe, and a 5-aisle natural/whole foods section with its own dairy and frozen area. The pharmacy has been removed (shoppers are directed to the nearby ShopRite Pharmacy in the Cheltenham Square Mall, which is also owned and operated by Brown's Superstores) and in its place is a huge customer service counter, replacing the small desk that functioned as Pathmark's customer service.
This is the first new The Fresh Grocer store to open since the company joined the Wakefern Food Cooperative (the ShopRite and PriceRite folks,) in 2013. I believe it is also the first to be owned by anyone other than The Fresh Grocer founder Pat Burns.
The store competes with a Walmart Supercenter in the same shopping plaza.
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!
With the number of CSX EMDs below 100 now, it was pretty awesome to see Q506 pull up to Togany with one in the lead. Here 8130 is seen through the trees near Tontogany, Ohio.
This week we go back to 1992 and RH 24 on the 41C to River Valley (or Rivervalley as it says on the destination). The bus is seen loading up on Eden Quay which for many decades was the terminus for Swords Road bus routes such as the 33, 33B, 41, 41A, 41B and 41C serving places like Balbriggan, Skerries, Portrane and Swords. When construction work started on the Luas in early 2000s these routes migrated to Lower Abbey Street and to the former terminus of 51A outside the Irish Life Centre. The route of the 41C used to follow the 41 to Swords Main Street before turning left to River Valley, whereas the 41 turned right to serve north Swords. With the development of that town in during the Celtic Tiger era, both routes were extended to Swords Manor, with River Valley becoming a through route for the 41C. The 41C was also removed from Dublin Airport.
The bus is in an all-over ad for Harp Lager. When delivered new in 1990 it was in Dublin Bus green. Before the end of 1992 it was repainted into Wedding Bus livery. The bus was withdrawn in 2002 but went on to have a further career in the Isle of Man before moving to England and serving within the fleets of Go North East and Arriva. 23/01/1992
In 1949, the DeGrazia's bought 10-acres of land in the Santa Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. Soon after Ted and Marion began to build their home on the grounds, at this time there was no electricity, water, or services. All supplies that they needed had to be transported from Tucson. They cooked their food in an old wood-burning stove and took showers outside with water from a bucket. Happy Throwback Thursday!
A nice SD40-2 pair of Conrail & N&W heritage on Sylacauga-based local A45 works the interchange with the Eastern Alabama Railway back on a hot summer afternoon in 2010. A45 is still based out of here in the current day, but now it religiously gets a pair of ugly SD60Es assigned for power.
This week we are going back thirty-three years to KC 50 at the route 76A terminus in Blakestown.
Route 76A started operating between Tallaght and Blanchardstown Hospital around 1989. In late-1990 it was extended to Blakestown, while the southern terminus was moved to The Square in Tallaght. In 1996 the northern terminus was changed to the Blanchardstown Centre. At the same time Fettercairn or Balrothery became the southern terminus for different departures, and remained so for about 15 years. In 2019 Dublin Bus transferred the route to Go-Ahead Ireland. The route ceased to operate in November 2023. It was partially replaced by routes W2 and W4 under Bus Connects.
KC 50 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1999.
