Brilliant stuff !! The bus fumes at the start and random people runin round ..Classic ! I agree with you Fuuukkky bout the more old everyday footage. :-) R.I.P Ronnie Drew.
People are still blocking the yellow boxes now, just a bit less so thanks to slightly better training and stricter tests before they can get on the road... Also, as much as everybody hates the NCT (my cars have always failed and need a retest... every year), it's good that we don't have absolute stinking rustbuckets gassing up the street with impenetrable smoke now! :D It's nice to see those old Atlanteans (usually the 16/A and 22 when I was going to Coláiste Mhuire in Parnell Square c.1994)!
Cars blocking up the yellow box junction and people to relaxed and too polite to blow their horns. They were good days, and God bless them all, there were a lot of decent people around then, I am sorry I didn't appreciate them more.
The pollution looks chronic- no wonder they had to introduce unleaded petrol, car testing and emissions standards. Can literally see the exhaust fumes rising
Jaysus ❗.. I thought that the driving standards and pollution were bad in Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳... 😂... They were the days my friend of getting gassed on the back of them buses with the smell of diesel and smoke bellowing out of the back of the bus.. 🚍🚌👉😩🙏🚭
@tecmovie Yes, that was some hilarious smog! Also the cyclists at the beginning are on the wrong side of the road unless they were turning right soon :D Good old times!
+Sam Ma The NCT is a bit of a pain, and I like the old cars too... but at least it means we don't have massively smog-filled roads like at the start of the video! And I remember Dublin city centre in the 1980s, it was loud and stank of sulphur and who knows what from all the bangers going around with no catalytic converters and busted exhausts.
Todays bus drivers not a patch on the chaps then.....could make a bus talk to them....thousands of journeys often soft brakes worn tyres tiny amount of accidents.....i see them now.....cant judge gap or sharp bend.....
Ah Jack KD202`s driver had little choice but to manouvere past the Audi 100 that planted itself directly in front of him (On the Yellow Box ) (Note the Busdrivers use of the Right Indicator) As this clip proves some €60 Million and 24 years later things at this junction remain EXACTLY the same. This is what makes us different from the "Real" europeans...they would have used the Celtic Tiger billions to engineer their way out of the problem,we just scratched our heads and wondered.
@tecmovie i came across this footage whilst looking for footage/images of Dublin in the 80's. I'm not a bus enthusiast per se, it's dublin i wanna see. Do you know of any websites that show images or photos of dublin in the 1980's?
@maplebanks I agree ..it will always remain a " Kip".... the new money made it look like the largest knackers holding site in the world...i mean...look at the way they drive..?..savages..it really is a hole. we Irish have a huge, huge inflated sense of importance when all we really are is an old English port.

class video.
i love seein dublin back in the day
Traffic is like something out of Calcutta! I thought it was much worse these days but there’s far more order and sequence nowadays
yes, the 1980s were really bad, i think dublin looked the best in the 1960s but actually it looks better today than in the 80s
I had a strong feeling to start running when i saw a number 16
Wow, look at the smoke pouring out of the PAMBO private Coach!
thanks for posting this it was good to see all the old hiaces,k30's datsuns, i forgot half of these cars ever existed

i used 2 love the big old green bombardiers
Being a teen in Dublin in the 80s was great. We didn't have much but we had what we needed.
Imagine the amount off people that slowly died from breathing in all those fumes everyday
Jasus, what a mess! Great vid.
11 seconds in and im already laughing at the plume of smoke from the buses and cars . No nct test them days love it !!!
You wouldn't want to be caught down wind of some of those bicycle riders either. Ten pints of Guinness and a chicken curry the night before...
the granby sausages bus at the start quality i love these old vis lol
Brought back memories. Can't believe I cycled those streets most days while at college in the 80s with no helmet.
I did too, with a child on the back.
I was thinking the same. In and out to town twice a day - had to go home for lunch, as no money to eat in town.
How popular were fiats, datsuns and hiace vans in Ireland?! Check out those fumes!
one thing that will never change in dublin.. is the amount of buses!

I haven't played spot the lada in ages.
And this is why they stopped cars driving through the city centre. Makes sense.
I noticed 2 x no.22 s in succession, typical, the bastards, I was probably at the stop cursing the feckers after waiting nearly an hour
1985 dublin still grappling with yellow boxes ;D

love it thanks for the sharing

It's like Bangladesh :0 :)
I like seeing retro cars on the roads in other countries that are well maintained. Pity we have the stupid money grabbing NCT test

Can hear the roar of the detroit engines.
jasus was only thinkin how not much changes at all
really... what about the over a million people from other countries who invaded our country since then
@@RepublicIcon invaded?
No Add blu those days!
there seem to be more bicycles then cars on the roads at the time lol.
You must be seeing things.
Omg look at the pollution! Wow though give me the pollution anyway besides this Covid 19 plaque!!!!!
High Vis were not out in 1985 or were Helmets for Cyclists emissions Turf or a drop of red stufff
@olliespike2 I'm glad u used the words "we suck" for that my friend includes you!!
No 30kph crap back then lol....and no crazy paving on O'Connell str
2:12
Why I heard a fire truck honking?
omg dublin was full of knackers even then
Good innocent times
lol anyone remember the pink buses in dublin!!
I saw green and orange buses no pink ones.
I can see a pink bus if u want me to dam 🥰🥰🥰
Todays bus drivers not a patch on the chaps then.....could make a bus talk to them....thousands of journeys often soft brakes worn tyres tiny amount of accidents.....i see them now.....cant judge gap or sharp bend.....
Yep bus driver back then were driving them like they were going out of fashion. Todays drivers are driving miss Daisy!
@@Wayne55231 true......buses now are sluggish too.The provincial M type could go like a rocket as well....gas oul days...

Jaysus kip haha 😄
its lovely today do
People shitting on the streets and homeless everywhere
Was there no trams back then?
Nope.. Trams (Luas) only returned to Dublin in June 2004 The Original Dublin Trams ended in 1959
More cyclists back then compared with today, even with all the cycle lanes we have now.
@maplebanks
I agree ..it will always remain a " Kip"....
the new money made it look like the largest knackers holding site in the world...i mean...look at the way they drive..?..savages..it really is a hole.
we Irish have a huge, huge inflated sense of importance when all we really are is an old English port.
And people romanticize old Dublin..looks like New Delhi!
