This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1999 and to RV 422 parked on Marlborough Street, dressed for route 32A.
CIE started operating route 32A in 1958, taking the route over from the GNR(I). It ran between the city centre and Malahide, but ceased to operate in 1966. It returned to the network around 1971. The route reached Malahide by going via Raheny and Baldoyle. It completely stopped operating in 2012, when under Network Direct route 32 was extended to Malahide.
RV 422 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

After going back to real sugar, the current Mountain Dew just doesn't taste the same.

Throwback Mountain Dew. Cardboard promotional piece for limited edition throwback Mountain Dew bottles, except on plastic bottles (instead of green glass), so it really doesn't count. :-)

This week we are going back seventeen years to 2007 and to AX 459 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 11B to UCD Belfield.
Route 11B started operating between the city centre and UCD Belfield around 1970. It followed route 11 south through Ranelagh and Clonskeagh, and entered UDC from the western side of the campus. Around 1984 it was extended north to the junction at Griffith Avenue and St. Mobhi Road, sharing a terminus with route 11. Around 1988 it was extended further north to Wadelai Park along with the 11. The route ceased to operate in 2011 under Network Direct changes.
AX 459 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn at the end of 2021. It spent some of its final months as a cleaning bus during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Clery's department store in the background closed in 2015. The building was later renovated as the "Clery's Quarter" and new shops opened within it in 2024.

These are four of the most recent uniforms. Whitney ('00-'03), Megan ('90-95), Allison ('95-99), and Pooja ('03-'06).
Lets welcome this 77 Subaru into this weeks Throwback Thursday!
What a hot buy under 3k 41 highway MPG. Disk front brakes? No cat? Sweet.
In a 1966 article entitled “Texture” for Mountain States Architecture magazine, DeGrazia said, “When a man is creating a building or a painting it must be–first and last–a thing of beauty with good proportions and harmony. These qualifications are things of the spirit, of the soul, and of the mind.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
The design on the left was what they used when Throwback was first released in 2009. The design on the right is the current design, which is also the design Pepsi used back in the 80s.
