Throwback Thursday (356) - a photo on Flickriver

            This week we are going back thirty-five years to 1987 and D 609 on Talbot Street with a service on route 44A. This VanHool McArdle AN68 was new to CIE in 1975. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1993 and sold for scrap. Over its career it operated out of Clontarf, Conyngham Road and Ringsend Garages. 
Route 44A to Mount Prospect Avenue started running in 1936. It lasted until 1996 when it was replaced by new City Imp route 130, which also replaced route 30.
Beside the bus is a car with a registration plate that begins with "87 D". 1987 was the first year for this new style of car registrations, with the previous system dating from 1903 using just two letter codes for counties and some numbers (as seen on the bus). The new system adopted in 1987 put the two digits for the year at the start followed by one or two letters to represent the county. In 2013 it was adapted again when the year was split in half for registrations and either a 1 or 2 appended to the year number.  17/11/1987
