This week we are going back twenty-eight years to 1995 and to RH 47 on Earlsfort Terrace with a service on route 48A. This route started running between the city centre and Goatstown in 1928. In 1933 it was extended to Ballinteer, going via Milltown and Dundrum. Its last terminus within Ballinteer was at Broadford, which it served from 1978 to 2011. In that latter year the route ceased to operate when it was replaced by routes 14 and 61 under Network Direct.
RH 47 was new to Dublin Bus in 1990 and was withdrawn in 2002. The following year it was sold to an operator in the United Kingdom, and it was eventually scrapped in 2015.
The KD on route 14A behind the RH is advertising Mariah Carey. The year before this photograph was taken was when she released "All I Want For Christmas Is You". The 14A also terminated in Ballinteer between August 1995 and November 2005, but it went via Rathmines.

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 Previously Leyland Atlantean D 189 carried a similar scheme, but before it was withdrawn it was decided that another bus would carry-on wearing the ad.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 In 1986 the bus moved to Ringsend Garage, and in 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus.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.

Metra 90 & 104 lead 8 private cars out of Elgin on the second leg of the AAPRCO mainline excursion. They’re pulling their special train to Fox Lake on September 3, 2022.
This week we are going back fourteen years to 2010, and to AV 393 on a snow-covered O'Connell Street with a service on route 46A to Dun Laoghaire.
Route 46A started running between the city centre and Cabinteely in 1926. Certain departures were extended to Dun Laoghaire in 1929. In 1932 the primary destination was moved to Goatstown, and in 1936 it was extended to Dun Laoghaire full time. In 1999 the Stillorgan QBC opened, and along with it the high frequency route we know now also started. In 2010 it replaced route 10 on the northside when it was extended to the Phoenix Park via the North Circular Road. It was due to be repalced by the E-Spine under Bus Connects in December 2024, but that has now been pushed back to 2025.
AV 393 was new to Dublin Bus in 2004. It was withdrawn around late-2017 / early-2018, and was sold on to another Irish operator.
2010 was a good year for snow in Dublin, with falls in January, November and December.

I miss summer
AI description:
The photo shows a man standing outdoors beneath a wooden pergola covered with lush green vines and large leaves. He is shirtless and has his arms crossed over his chest, showing a muscular build. He wears a woven straw hat and dark sunglasses, along with a thin necklace. He has a short gray beard and mustache and a calm, confident expression. Sunlight filters through the leaves above, casting natural light and soft shadows across the scene. To one side, part of a house with light-colored siding is visible, adding to the backyard garden setting.
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.

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 is from my disposable camera from January 2014! It seems like forever ago but ultimately, it really wasn't. I'm a much more different and strong person now. This picture was taken on my campus my freshman year of college.
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.

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

Como sinto saudades dessas pontas roxas! Desse quarto bagunçado em um loft cheia de boas risadas e amizade verdadeira. Sim, estou nostálgica hoje e a culpa é da dona @Natália Cavalcante , pra quem não sabe ela está contando como ela e o Victor se conheceram no canal dela e de quebra mostrando um pouco do que aprontávamos naquela época, então corre lá pra conferir e volte aqui nos próximos dias porque assim como ela, irei compartilhar fotos que tenho daquela época #throwback

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
This week we are going back eighteen years to 2007 and to AV 84 in Bray with a service on route 45A to Ballywaltrim.
Route 45A operated between the city centre and Bray from 1936 to 1942. It was then cut back from the city centre to Dun Laoghaire due to fuel shortages caused by the Second World War. From around 1985 to around 1996 it was extended to Ballywaltrim. It was then cut back to Bray Station, before returning to Ballywaltrim in 2004, and then extended to Kilmacanogue in 2015. Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route in October 2018.
AV 84 was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn in July 2013 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. In 2003 AV 84 was used to test an experimental livery that was not adopted. instead it is seen here wearing the winning design that was trialled on AV 76.
This part of Quinsborough Road in Bray was done up as part of the building of the new bus interchange that opened in 2025.
