Throwback Thursday (373) - a photo on Flickriver

This week's Throwback Thursday can also be seen as part of Provincial Past too. 1996 finds Dublin Bus P 34 at Bus Aras about to depart with a service to Kells for Bus Eireann. This DAF Plaxton Verde was delivered to Dublin Bus in 1993 to help convert route 39 to CitySwift status. In 1998 it was repainted into the new core Dublin Bus livery but spent its final few years with Dublin Bus in City Imp livery. In 2003 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus and officially transferred to Bus Eireann, where it joined the school fleet. It spent its final years operating out of Galway and was withdrawn and scrapped around 2014.
Bus Eireann still operate to Kells today with route 109.
It was not uncommon up to the early 2000s for Dublin Bus to lend vehicles to Bus Eireann to help out at busy times or to trial different bus types. This picture also demonstrates what was common practice at Bus Aras for many decades - buses reversed into the stands, and passengers had to walk the length of the bus to board. In more recent times this has been reversed, with buses facing inwards at the stands.
