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 It was withdrawn in 2015 and sold on to another Irish operator.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.

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
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.

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 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.

With my big brothers on Grandma and Boppa's back porch steps. Someone must've told me to "Look at the birdie!"
This was in LA last Christmas. I had totally forgot about these photos. This isn't a good photo, but I thought it was funny because of my sister in the background.
A year ago we were enroute to Kwando Camp on the Kwando River. Magical place, incredible experience.
This week we are going back 19 years to 1998. RA 246 is seen at the bus stop on Grafton Street while operating a service on route 10 to UCD Belfield from Phoenix Park. At the time the bus was only 3 years old but managed to stay in service for another decade and a half as it became a member of the tour fleet. It did lose its roof though for this new role, or at least some of it. This location ceased being a bus stop in 2014 with the start of Luas Cross CIty works. With the tram tracks coming through here it is not longer practical for buses to stop here, and this corner has been eased by extending the footpath. The bus is in an all-over ad for Eircell, one of the first mobile operators in Ireland. 1998 was when mobile phones were starting to appear, and were still a relatively novel technology at that time.
Finally, what can one say about the route 10. It was one of the more famous routes in Dublin and used by a lot of people over their lifetimes, either going to college in Belfield or the Zoo in the Phoenix Park. In 2010 the unthinkable happened when Dublin Bus abolished the route and replaced it with the 39A on the southside and 46A on the northside. 28/04/1998

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 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.

Who in the world is that skinny guy with the backpack and the old Cannon AE1 around his neck. How bout that black hair, short shorts, and ugly shoes. Seems like I've had a camera around my neck forever. ( At least since age 6 ). No matabout 43ter where I go to this day, I always seem to strike up a conversation with a park ranger. Taken at the National Zoo in 1976. Just about 43 years ago.
Picked up some throwbacks for the road! I haven't been drinking much soda recently, but I wanted to try this Pepsi and Mountain Dew made with real sugar. They're only producing them again for a limited time.
Unfortunately it has been so many years since I've had regular Pepsi and Mt. Dew that I can't tell definitively if there is a big taste difference. They're good, though and I think the Mountain Dew is better than I remember. Throwback Dr. Pepper is also available, but I'm one of those evil people who doesn't like Dr. Pepper.
Not an original rover by any means, but Kenny made a little extra this month by exceeding his Futuron tech theft quotas, and decided to upgrade his rims.
My Dad gave me this camera he used to use around the time I was born, (45years ago)! Soon I will be using it to capture photos!
Four former Illinois Central SD70s team up to wheel a northbound manifest freight through Pesotum, Illinois. It was like being transported back to the days when the IC was still a standalone railroad before being taken over by Canadian National.
