This week we are going back fifteen years to RV 422 passing the main entrance to UCD Belfield with a service on route 7B to Dublin city centre.
This Volvo Olympian was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 7B started running between Shankill and the city centre in 2001. This was a weekday, peak-only route. Whereas the traditional route 7 reached the city centre by going along the Rock Road, this route and the 7D, which started around the same time, made use of the Stillorgan QBC. The route still runs today.
University College Dublin (UCD) started its move from the city centre to Belfield campus in 1964 when the Faculty of Science opened. Since then the campus has grown a lot, and the university is the largest in Ireland.

Concentration piece #10 (for now)
An old pipe.
I'm not sure where this pipe came from, nor whom it came from. Heck, I don't even know who the face is supposed to be. I do know, however, that it is one awesome looking pipe, so I felt the urge to get some shots of it! Something about it just seems magical in my eyes...
Shot with a Canon EOS 60D and a Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS lens.
Last one I swear :p so the bottom left picture is my throwback 2 years ago competing at the Junior Olympics/Nationals meet in the 100 and 200 meter hurdles. The top two pictures are 4x4 and 4x1 and the bottom right is when I went to state in the 4x1 with 2 seniors and a sophomore. I also run the 100m, 200m, if I have to... Hurdles. I do long jump and Javelin. This post was inspired by THE J0KER. So thank you! I have three more years in high school track and field and that means I'll always be busy ish In February to June. Anyways hope you'll enjoy! Oh and if anyone does track, comment below!
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.

This week we are going back fourteen years to 2011 and RV 633 dressed for route 29A on Marlborough Street.
CIE started operating route 29A between the city centre and Grange Road Cross in 1958, taking the route over from the GNR(I). By 1971 it had reached Newgrove Cross, as seen on the bus here. In 2012 it was extended to Baldoyle. In 2021 the route became the H1 under Bus Connects.
RV 633 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2011 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
This location on Marlborough Street is now home to the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

This week we are going back nineteen years to 2006, and to RA 186 on O'Connell Street displaying route 14 to Ballinteer.
Route 14 started running (as a bus route) between the city centre and Dartry in 1948. From 1953 its northern terminus was moved to Annamoe Road, before reaching the Phoenix Park in 1955. In the same year it reached Churchtown on the southside. Around 1988 it was cut back on the northside to the city centre, and in 1995 it reached Ballinteer. Around 2005 it was extended to Dundrum. In 2011 it was merged with route 20B under Network Direct, and it became a cross-city route from Ardlea Road (Beaumont) to Dundrum. The city centre routing took it along Eden Quay instead of O'Connell Street.
RA 186 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. It was withdrawn in late-2006, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

This week we are going back twelve years to 2013, and to GT 125 on Hawkins Street dressed for route 68.
The DUTC started operating the route in 1934. The 68 runs from the city centre to Newcastle (in west Dublin), going via Clondalkin. In 2006 it was extended slightly further to the Greenogue Business Park at the southern end of Newcastle. In 2011 it was slightly modified under Network Direct to go via Bulfin Road as a partial replacement for route 19.
GT 125 was new to Dublin Bus in 2013. In 2018 it migrated to Go-Ahead Ireland and became 11907.
Beside the bus is the former Department of Health, which was located in Hawkins House. It was demolished in 2021, and the site is being redeveloped.

This week we are going back seventeen years to 2007 and to RA 322 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 121 to Cabra.
Route 121 started operating between the city centre and Drimnagh Road in 1997. It was a City Imp route, and replaced previous route 22A. In 1998 the route was extended north to Cabra, initially terminating on Faussagh Road, before being extended to Ratoath Road in 1999. The route ceased to operate in 2011 under Network Direct changes. Part of the route on southside was replaced by route 150, but other roads lost their bus service when the route ended.
RA 322 was new to Dublin Bus in 1996. It was withdrawn in December 2007, and sold on to another operator in the United Kingdom.
This bus stop outside Easons is no longer present, having been removed during the Luas Cross City construction works. It was once served by a variety of high-frequency routes, and was a very busy stop.
