Week commencing: Sunday 14th November 2010

This week saw the publication of the timetables for the Lucan/North Kildare network review. These changes come in effect from next Sunday the 21st of November, ad we'll hopefully have some first day operations photos next week, in particular the new 25B route to Adamstown.

For this entry, we're looking at Blanchardstown, and specifically Route 37 to Blanchardstown Road South, known as Blanchs'town Rd. Sth. on a limited space scroll...

VT57 operated the 10.30 ex Burlington Road to Blanchardstown Road South arriving at 11.20 for a return at 11.30. The times on these duties allow for the extension of the route into Blanchardstown Centre, for which VT57 is showing the scroll setting for in this picture...
Also, added to scrolls for short workings to the city only is '37C City Centre', in keeping with the tradition of short working cross city services being suffixed 'C' (ie. 4C, 16C, 19C etc). Like the 37C, the 39C also have new City Centre short working options on the scrolls, however, the 38C & 70C do not. VT57 demonstrates the 37C option here at Blanchardstown Road South.
Also in the past 7 days, we took a trip on northside orbital Route 104 from Clontarf Garage to Cappagh Hospital. AV233 is seen here outside Clontarf Garage heading towards Cappagh.
