I can smell it now.
My only big bus adventure was to take the bus from the main street in Blackrock to the stop opposite Dominican Convent in Dún Laoghaire and back again in the evening, the 7A or 8. Did that from about 1964 to 1969 when my next big adventure was taking the bus into the Pillar that was something else. I took the train for the next 40 odd years.

ah yes, Monday morning was special,
