Throwback Thursday (495) - a photo on Flickriver

            This week we are going back a decade to 2015, and to GT 4 passing through UCD Belfield with a service on route 17 to Rialto.

Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971, with its western terminus becoming Rialto around 1982. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2016, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased in November 2023 when Bus Connects brought in new orbital routes on the southside. Route 17 was partially replaced by route S6.

GT 4 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012, and is still in service today.

The bus is seen passing through the bus gate within UCD Belfield. During the peak periods, the road through the campus was closed to traffic, with the bus gate introduced to ensure only buses used the road. The bus gate was used in both directions, and the bollard in the middle of the road lowered to let the buses pass through. It was relatively new at the time, but shortly after this picture was taken the bollard was replaced with barriers. It is no longer in use. Bus gates are not a common feature on the Dublin Bus network, but a few do exist around the city. There is even one in Lucan that is no longer in use.
