This week we are going back thirty-seven years to KC 3, parked in Phibsborough Garage.
This bus was new to CIE in 1984. Whereas KC 1 was built by FFG in Hamburg, and KC 2 was built in Bombardier, KC 3 was the first KC built by GAC who also build the rest of the fleet, up to KC 202. KC 3 was initially allocated to Cork, before moving up to Dublin Although the bus did operate in passenger service, it did spend some time as a driver training bus. As a result it gained a second mirror behind the door for the instructor to use. The bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus from service in the late-1990s.
Phibsboro Garage opened in 1971, built on part of the old railway yard at Broadstone Station. That station closed to passenger traffic in 1937, and closed completely in 1961. The station complex is currently home to the Bus Eireann main depot, and more recently a Dublin Bus depot.

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 It was withdrawn around 2013 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

Sergeant Scott W. Gilchrist, recovery team leader, 81mm Mortars/Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel Platoon, Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, practices a carabineer tie-off during rappelling training off the flight deck of USS Peleliu, March 5. The main training objective was keeping the 14 BLT Helicopter Rope Suspension Technique masters current in their qualifications, but it also gave the Security Platoon an opportunity to practice rappelling, which is one of the ways troops can be inserted into different situations. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility. Gilchrist, 24, is from Hurst, Texas, and is a HRST master with the unit. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. John Robbart III) www.facebook.com/15thMarineExpeditionaryUnit
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!
USS RUSHMORE (March 20, 2013) Sergeant Steve E. Barrientos, fire direction controller, 1st Platoon, Battery B, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, practices techniques from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program aboard USS Rushmore, March 20. Barrientos, 23, is from Fontana, Calif. He joined to become an FDC because he thought it would best utilize his skills and because it was his lifelong dream. To pass time while deployed, he plays poker, reads and hangs out with his friends. His favorite part of the deployment has been training in foreign countries. He looks forward to going home to see his son and visiting his family.

This week we are going back fifteen years to RV 597 on Suffolk Street with a service on route 145 to Heuston Station.
The first route 145 was a local route in Bray that ran between Palermo, Ballywaltrim and Kilmacanogue. This route started in 1995 and operated under the Localink brand using minibuses. In 2004 the route underwent a massive transformation when it was altered to run from Kilmacanogue to Mountjoy Square in the city centre. In 2010 the route was altered under Network Direct, when route 92 was merged into it, and the 145 moved it's city centre terminus to Heuston Station. In 2015 the route was cut back from Kilmacanogue to terminate at Ballywaltrim instead. The route last ran on the 25th January 2025. The following day the E-Spine changes under Bus Connects were implemented, and route 145 was partially replaced by routes E1 and 4.
RV 597 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in September 2012, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Suffolk Street was a main artery for bus routes in the city centre for decades. However, buses were diverted away from it in January 2015 due to Luas Cross City works, and the street is effectively pedestrianised now.

OMG you thought MY hair was big, Sorry about the bad crooked scan job!! This was me and my first roommate, we had an apartment together when I was 18. Clearly she liked to draw on the walls. We were on our way to go "out" YUCK! We were SO proud!!
Im really excited to post this Power Ram 50 As this weeks Throwback!
I fell in love with the little dude... Maybe with Chevy's Colorado winning Truck of the Year Dodge should take a hint and get a cool Midsize Truck going! You know whats the benefit of two companies fighting to produce the best product for bragging rights?
Regular Joes end up with some pretty cool rides thanks to the big companies feuds!
When I rescued Rusty in 2015 I did not know that his red fur was caused from skin that had been infected and was healing. I actually named him Rusty because of that red coat! However, I am much happier that his fur is now its natural colour because his skin is healthy!
Spam, The meat of many uses.
Spam And Eggs! Hungry anyone???
Lets welcome this great ad to this weeks Throwback Thursday!
Goal: Create posters for each week of a four week series.
Audience: Young adults, most grew up in old southern traditional churches.
Direction: Tried to "throw back" to some images of what some associate church with. The blurb for the series is: "Whether you came from old church, big church, southern church, or no church at all, we all have our own ideas of what church is. For the next four weeks, we will be looking at what church WAS, and what God's church really IS."
Project: Throwback

Pepsi Throwback was supposed to only be around for the first couple of months of 2010, but I saw it again at a couple of local stores.
I love vehicles of all makes and models worth loving. But I just happen to own two Chevrolet's at the moment.
That being the case people assume I'm a Chevy only guy. I often get smack talk about Chevy's large displacements over Fords much smaller engines putting out equal or more power. Well, lets take a moment this Thursday to remember Fords BIG-O 7 Litre!
Happy Thursday Everyone! Ride into the weekend as if you were in this gorgeous, powerful, convertible!
I Love it, when i see old couples together, because it makes me believe, that true love does exist.

This route started running between the city centre and Templeogue in 1952. In 1978 it reached Ballyroan, and in 2007 it was extended to Whitechurch. Since 2011 it has terminated on Stocking Avenue.

The 150 had its terminus at nearby Rossmore and ran via Crumlin to the City Centre. In 2011, it replaced part of route 121 through the Liberties.
