This week we are going back twenty-two years to AD 35 at Dublin Airport on route 748.
This Alexander DAF bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1994, and was the first in a batch (AD 35-40 and 69/70) delivered to launch the new Airlink service. It came off the airport services around 2000 when double-deckers took over the route, and it joined the regular fleet. When the bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus, it joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Waterford around 2006/07. It was withdrawn by Bus Eireann around 2011/12.
Route 748 started running between Heuston Station and Dublin Airport around 1998, although there had been unnumbered services between the two for many years. Route 747 was the designation for services between Bus Aras and Dublin Airport. However, in 2011 both routes were merged into a new route 747 that ran from Heuston Station to Dublin Airport.
Dublin Express now operate from this bus stop at Dublin Airport, and the Airlink service was officially withdrawn in 2021.

When a Rabbit is considered the "New" thing. Thats how you know this ad is Old!
Love this ad!
Lets see how long I can keep up with the throwbacks. Im liking these!!!!
The chicks are officially three months old now, but here is Grant, just a couple of days after their arrival, guarding our new additions with all devotion and dedication available to a collie (which is quite a bit). Now, the chicks will charge and chase Grant, who thinks it is all the most delightful fun to be chased by a miniature chicken.
I'm glad they get on so well.
Lets welcome this lovely Rambler to this weeks throwback!
Man..... Dont I wish todays cars were this stylish... Love the dressed up engine options!
Hello, peoples. Today I have a picture that serves dual purpose.
1. As a throwback to my early days in superhero customizing.
2. As an explanation to why some of why LoLH heroes are very similar to certain Avengers.
------------------------------------------
Before I explain the picture, I want to explain where this LEGO superhero universe started.
Way back in my glory days on the now-deceased LEGO.com General Gallery me and my brother wanted to make a story together.
That story was Captain Assembly and Flyboy! It was about our sig-figs being superheroes and having to work together while hiding their identities from eachother.
(Heres a link to the story if you're interested. Sorry no pictures even though there were originally. Also some things may seem weird because our sig-figs had some already established canon: docs.google.com/document/d/1X8KcH514oCxM0--j4JrkJtQg45hAV...)
Eventually I decided to make a whole team that was a knock-off Avengers. I even called them the LEGO Agency Avengers. I easily fit Captain Assembly as Captain America and Flyboy as Antman. (You may also recognize fighter. Then he was called Armor Man.) I never really did much with these characters but you might see some other remnants of this universe resurface...
Happy Throwback Thursday! The bottom photo is 2009's house management intern Charly and the top is 2014's house management intern Caitlyn!

Lancia sold in the US? Maybe, we have Fiat once again here after all.
But for now it remains a throwback!
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.
