Bus Stop Of The Month (36) - a photo on Flickriver

            Possibly a slight cheat this month, as technically stop 4717 at Busaras is an unused bus stop, but the bus bay is not. 

Stop 4717 comes under the Dublin Bus bus stop numbering scheme, For many years it was the stop used by Airlink buses (and their predecessors), providing an express bus service to Dublin Airport from the city centre. As such it has been served, at various points in time, by Dublin Bus routes 747, 748 and 757. For a brief period in 1999 it was also served by Hotelink route 61A. Airlink was suspended in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and in 2021 it was announced it was completely gone. There are rumours though it may return.

In 2013 this became stop number 3 on the new Dublin Bus Docklands Tour, with open-top buses serving it every half hour. Around 2017 the Docklands Tour was subsumed into the regular city tour, however the Busaras stop did not last long on the new tour route. In 2020 all tours were suspended, again due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and when they resumed in 2021, the Docklands element was completely gone from the tour route. Therefore, it has been four years since Dublin Bus has used this bus top.

However, this bus bay is also known as Gate 15 as part of Busaras, and has been used by Bus Eireann services since 2020. Since 2023 it has been used exclusively by Translink Goldline services to Belfast and Derry. So the bus bay is still in use, but technically the bus stop is not.
