    this was posted recently in the Dublin City historic pics & videos thread by ziggy23 - its a 10 minute clip of Dublin Bus training run through the streets of Dublin in 1965.

    It's interesting to see the stock on the roads back then, a lot more bicycles, very few traffic lights (compared to today) and quite a bit of the city has changed since then of course..

    no sound on the clip btw

    Jeez, there are as much people and cyclists on the roads as there are traffic and not much of them even looks any way while crossing:(.
