This and one other photo were meaningful to me because they are reminiscent of a professor I had in college named Dr. Paul Siri Wilson. He was one of the most influential people in my life at that time and I think he would like this photo.

This week we go back forty years to 1984 and to D 277 parked on Hawkins Street.
This Leyland Atlantean was new to CIE in 1969. It was withdrawn and sold for scrap in 1985.
The bus is parked between duties, and is therefore showing no route number. The destination display is showing the Irish for Carrickmines (Carraig Mhaighin), which in 1984 was served by routes 63 and 86.
The New Metropole Cinema in the background opened in 1972. In 1984 it became the Screen Cinema. It closed in 2016 and was subsequently demolished. A new office complex built on the site is due to be completed in 2024 or 2025. The cinema appears to be showing "The World According to Garp", a 1982 film starring Robin Williams.

This week we are going back nine years to 2015 and to the Dublin Port Rally.
This was the second year the rally was run, except it was held over two days rather than just the one in 2014. It brought together a variety of vehicles, both old and new, with a large gathering of buses included. Here are four preserved buses that used to operate in Dublin.
On the left is D 839. This bus was new to CIE in 1978. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1995. The bus is dressed for route 16A. This route started in 1955 between Beaumont and Lower Rathfarnham. In 1985 it reached Santry and during 1999 reached the airport. The route ceased to operate in 2012 under Network Direct changes.
Beside it is RH 7. It was new to Dublin Bus in 1990 and became a driver trainer in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2008. The bus is dressed for route 15B. 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.
Beside RH 7 is MA 7, This minibus was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was withdrawn in the early-2000s. The bus is dressed for route 122. This route started as a City imp route in 1998, replacing previous routes 22 and 22A. It runs from Ashington to Drimnagh Road, via the city centre.
Finally, on the right is ME 26. This bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. In the early-2000s it became a ticket bus for the Nitelink. It was withdrawn in the early-2010s. The bus is dressed for route 150. This route started in 1994 under the City Imp brand, replacing route 50 which operated to Willington Roundabout. 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.

This photo of multiple Juno Award winning, Canadian artist Serena Ryder, has been good to me. It was featured on the cover of Pollstar Magazine as well as the cover of her "Live in South Carolina" album. I took it at the Showbox at the Market in Seattle in 2009, and it was recently selected to appear in the lobby to commemorate their 75th anniversary.

Just trying on my old skin/shape combo, honestly I haven't found a single skin that I like as much as this since I changed out of it.
I also wear this underwear set a lot. lol
This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996 and MA 3 at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre on route 237. This was a local route that connected the surrounding Blanchardstown area to the shopping centre. It started in October 1996 (along with the 238 and 239 when the shopping centre opened) and ran on a loop via Castleknock and Coolmine. The route was withdrawn in October 2010 under Network Direct. Its only change in all of that time was when the terminus within the Blanchardstown Centre was moved in 2006. The bus is seen here at the original terminus. The route was eventually replaced by route 37 between Castleknock and the Blanchardstown Centre.
MA 3 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993 and was withdrawn in 2001. It was initially allocated to City Imp route 120, but did also appear on the Blanchardstown local routes when they started.

This week we are going back thirty-four years to 1991 and to MB 11 on route 201 at The Square in Tallaght.
Tallaght gained three local routes in the late-1980s, numbered T01, T02 and T03. These routes served the various housing estates around Tallaght. and also started serving The Square shopping centre when it opened in 1990. Around that time the routes were also renumbered 201, 202 and 203. The 201 connected Killinarden and Kilnamanagh. In the 1990s it had a few changes, moving its western terminus to Jobstown, and its eastern terminus to Aylesbury and later to Kiltipper. In the early-2000s it started operating between Citywest and Bohernabreena, and this was its final form until the route was withdrawn around 2009.
MB 11 was one of fifteen MB Class minibuses delivered to Dublin Bus between 1987 and 1989. They were predominately used on the local routes around Tallaght and elsewhere in the city, under the Localink brand. All members of the class were withdrawn by 1994, with MB 8 passing to Bus Eireann.

This week we are going back forty-three years to 1982, but staying in Marlborough Street, to see a parked D 629 between duties on route 30.
Route 30 started operating between the city centre and Dollymount, going via Fairview and Clontarf, in 1938. In 1996, it and route 44A were replaced by new route 130, operated by City Imp minibuses.
D 629 was new to CIE in 1975. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1992, and was sold on for scrap.
The ad on the side of the bus is for Dingos Jeans, an Irish brand set up in the 1970s.
This side of Marlborough Street is now home to the tram tracks of the southbound Luas Green Line.
