This week we are going back thirty-four years to 1991, and to KD 339 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 19A to McKee Road.
Route 19A started running between Rialto and Ballymun Avenue in1940. It reached Cedarwood Road in 1967. Around 1990 its northern terminus became McKee Road on the northside and Bulfin Road on the southside. In the late-1990s its southern terminus was Kelly's Corner, and from 2001 to 2011 it operated between Limekiln Avenue and Bulfin Road. It was replaced by route 9 in 2011 under Network Direct.
KD 339 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus during 1998. It wore this all-over ad for Stanley Tools for most of 1991, and into 1992.

This week we are going back forty-one years to 1985, and to KD 366 on Eden Quay with a service on route 7A to Sallynoggin.
KD 366 was the bus that was never meant to be. When CIE ordered the double-deckers from Bombardier, it was meant to be a fleet of 365 buses. However, KD 111 was written-off in an accident in 1982, and thus an extra bus was ordered to replace it. KD 366 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. In 1990 it became the first Wedding Bus in the fleet, with the new white livery being tested on it before being applied to some of the new Leyland Olympians being that year. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 1999.
Route 7A started operating between the city centre and Sallynoggin, via Blackrock, in 1950. In 1988 it was extended to Mackintosh Park, and the route ceased to operate in 2011. The route number returned in 2016 for services between the city centre and Loughlinstown.

2002 finds PD 46 at Shannon Airport with a service on route 344 to Ennis.
This bus was new to Bus Eireann in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2008 and subsequently scrapped.
Route 344 operated between Ennis and Shannon Airport. It ceased in 2014 when it was merged with route 343 to form a new route from Ennis to Limerick via Shannon Airport. In 2024 route 343 was split again, with it only running between Limerick and Shannon Airport, and route 330 operating between Shannon Airport and Ennis.

For the first shot of 2017 we are going back six years to 2011. On the face of it the shot does not look very remarkable. It is just a bus on the 33A in Balbriggan after making its way from Swords. However the destination is worth noting, for it says "Ballbriggan". For a period of time the destination screens on the 33 correctly had Balbriggan but the 33A for some reason gained an extra 'L'. This situation lasted a few short years before being corrected.
The route itself started in 2002. Dublin Bus proposed to run a more frequent 33A between Swords and Skerries/Balbriggan and reduce the number of services on route 33 which operated to Dublin. The idea was that passengers for the city would change in Swords onto the 41/41C. The plan was an failure and services were restored on the 33, with some departures on the 33A maintained.

DeGrazia wrote in a journal the “desert is spiritual, mysterious and religious. It is a big dream around a dream. Walk away from people into the desert, and soon you will find a deadly silence, loneliness, a vast emptiness. It is almost frightening. Then suddenly, like magic, you are not alone. Around you is felt a stirring of life, you have a feeling of a living desert, a very old desert.”
Happy Throwback Thursday!
The eagle eyed will have noticed this is an old shot of mine. Pretty close to when I began the Lego365 project and a personal favourite of mine, mainly as it was the first time I felt like a "Real" photographer.
It was the catalyst for something bigger. And it was about then I decided to try turning a fews of my shots into prints and cards, as part of what I now call "season 1" (and Thankyou to Wendy and Kelly for the encouragement)
Oh, and I've still got a few of those prints and cards left, so if you want some, then hit me up.

A CH-46 Sea Knight flies over San Clemente Island, Feb. 12, during phase three of Exercise Iron Fist 2012, a bilateral training event between members of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. The ship-to-shore landing of the island was the culminating event of the exercise, where Marines, sailors and Japanese patrolled the island and conducted a live-fire exercise.

isn't it strange how much style can evolve in a short period of time? this outfit is basically my style concept from 2005 (pink, a-line skirt, vintage cardy, blouse, chunky maryjanes). it felt homey & nostalgic to wear it, & also a little strange. i hadn't worn the cat shoes in ages, and had kind of forgotten how excited people can get about them.

USS Peleliu At Sea - Service members, their families and friends view an air-power display aboard USS Peleliu, May 9. During the last leg of the deployment, guests came aboard the ship to experience life on the Peleliu and to learn what their Marine or sailor has accomplished during the past seven months. The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit is comprised of approximately 2,400 Marines and sailors and is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group. Together, they provide a forward-deployed, flexible sea-based Marine Air Ground Task Force capable of conducting a wide variety of operations ranging from humanitarian aid to combat.

This week we are going back seventeen years to 2017 and EV 17 on route 42B in Beresford Place.
Route 42B started running between the city centre and Harmonstown in 1958, going via Fairview, Artane and Gracefield Road. Around 1982, its terminus was moved to Blunden Drive. Thus it remained until 2011 (with a few minor alterations over the years), when the route was effectively renumbered to 27A under Network Direct.
EV 17 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was one of one hundred Enviro 400s delivered between 2007 and 2008, and is one of the few still in service today.

With this week being E3, I was reminded of the way video game news was disseminated when I was growing up. Pictured here is issue #7 of Nintendo Power Flash magazine, which was Canada's version of USA's Nintendo Fun Club.
This week we are going back sixteen years to 2009, and to AV 134 in Donnybrook arriving with a service on route 47 from Belarmine.
The modern route 47 started running between Donnybrook Church and Belarmine in 2008. It operated via Sandyford with the intention of providing a connection between the Luas tram system and the new development in Belarmine near Stepaside. In 2010 it was extended into the city centre as part of Network Direct, going via Ballsbridge, and acting as partial replacements for routes 46B, 63 and 84. In 2012 it was rerouted again under Network Direct, this time reaching the city centre via Nutley Lane, Sandymount and Ringsend. This was a partial replacement for routes 2 and 3.
AV 134 was new to Dublin Bus in 2000. It was withdrawn around 2013 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

This week we are going back fourteen years to 2009 and RV 479 on Eden Quay. The bus is dressed for route 15F. This route started running between the city centre and Kiltipper in 2001 (until 2003 the terminus was listed as Aylesbury and then Ellensborough). This was a peak-time only route that went via the Tallaght QBC and Rathmines, with one service in each direction a day. The route ceased to operate in December 2011 under Network Direct changes in the Rathmines area.
RV 479 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. This Volvo Olympian was withdrawn in late-2011 and was sold on to another Irish operator. 27/10/2009

Pour commencer l'année, je suis allé sur le complexe sportif de Bréquigny, où l'équipe U19 du Cercle Paul Bert affrontait les jeunes du Poiré-sur-Vie pour le compte des 64èmes de finale de la Coupe Gambardella. Dans ce match disputé mais où les actions franches furent rares, ce sont les footballeurs vendéens qui sont sortis vainqueurs, au terme de la séance de tirs au but qui a suivi les prolongations. Pour ma part, la pluie qui tombait, la luminosité qui descendait et l'orage qui grondait m'ont contraint à m’éclipser à l'heure de jeu, alors que j'avais déjà rangé mon appareil quinze minutes plus tôt, voyant bien que je ne tirerais pas grand-chose avec de telles conditions météorologiques.
