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 It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.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.

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. :-)

What a hot buy under 3k 41 highway MPG. Disk front brakes? No cat? Sweet.
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 It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1992, and was sold on for scrap.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.
