Cork City Bus Routes 1970's

[Rob]

Indirectly related to railways, l am looking to source information around the Bus Routes for Cork City during the 1970's.

If anyone has knowledge of the Routes, has photos from this era during the 1970's  or knows anyone that could help, would be great if you could let me know.

Cheers.

Rob.

Not an export , would know a few of the routes like 5 or 8 maybe 10. I donate know if there would be timetables, probably so, floating on eBay. Flickr is decent resource at times for pics. What specifically are you after?

There's a guy called Paul on tapatalk that collects cork city timetables about 2012, if h'es still around maybe touch base on that forum?

Cheers for that @DiveController- appreciate that; some great content there    Am a member on Tapatalk so will try there too.

From what l can work out, Cork City Bus Timetables ceased to be published in the (early?) 1960's even though the provincial services booklets continued.

From bus destination blinds that originated in the late 1960's / early 1970's (see below), l've been able to piece together some details but there are some gaps** if you can help?

1: Blackrock - Gurranabraher.

2: Beaumont - Churchfield.

3: Ballyphehane - Farranree.

4: Ballyphehane (Friars Walk) - Farranree.

5. Model Farm Road - Blackpool.

*6: Donnybrook (Grange ?????) - (Northside- maybe Collins Barracks?)

7: Collins Barracks - Douglas.

*7A: Well Road (????)   - Montenotte.

8: Mayfield - Bishopstown.

9: Ballyvolane - Pouladuff.

10: Ballinlough - Glasheen Road.

11: Tivoli - Magazine Road.

14: Sundays Well - Togher.

*15 or *16:  ?????? Grange involved on one of these?

You might have too map this out but some of the routes might be shortened at certain hours so inserted some additional/alternative route destinations ABOVE although i can't be certain there were during your specified time period
