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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus at then end of 1987 and sold for scrap.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, then your chest will surely show it! If you’re furry and you know it, clap your hands! 👏
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.

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.
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
A throwback to 2010 when 313s were still largely in charge of services on the Watford DC and North London Lines.
Silverlink liveried, London Overground operated 313123 heads towards Headstone Lane with a service for London Euston on 21/4/10.
..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.
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!
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
