            Route 52, Kilmacud to Sandymount, (St. John's Church), Dublin Bus, (Donnybrook Garage), GAC citybus, KC56, (KZG 56), was photographed in August 1991 at the route 52 terminus in Sandymount. 

At the time of the August 1991 photograph, the route 52 was a Monday to Saturday service with no service on a Sunday which served UCD, University College Dublin, (Belfield) hence the Monday to Saturday service.

A total of 202 brand new KCs were built for C.I.E. by FFG/Bombardier/GAC and were registered over the years, 1980 - 1985, all were delivered in the then new two tone green livery. All had Cummins engines fitted except KC 1 (Detroit Diesel). 

Of the 202 KCs delivered to CIE, circa. 120 were allocated to CIE (Dublin City Services) rebranded Dublin Bus in 1987, and circa. 82 were allocated to CIE (Provincial), rebranded Bus Eireann in 1987 operating out of Cork, Galway, Limerick  and Waterford Garages, Drogheda & Dundalk Garages operated KC 122, 123, 137, 138 & 139 for a short time until new build KR class buses were delivered there. 

All Dublin Bus KCs were withdrawn from service by Christmas 2000 with Bus Eireann examples continuing on in service through 2001. Following withdrawal, many of the KCs were converted into single door format and went on to serve in the Bus Eireann school bus fleet. 

Registrations were: KC 1 (1 BZI), KC 2 (ASI 2), KC 3 (ZSI 3) to KC 52 (ZSI 52) except KC 27 which was (AZG 27), KC 53 (KZG 53) to KC 87 (KZG 87), KC 88 (UZG 88) to KC 172 (UZG 172), KC 173 (LZS 173) to KC 202 (LZS 202). 

Due to late entry into service, 10 KCs were re-registered losing their original registrations KC 149, 156, 160, 161, 163, 169, 194, 200, 201, 202, e.g KC 149 was re-registered as (84-D-428) and KC 202 as (87-D-3202).
