    Great video, love it.
    However, isn't it earlier than 1982, simply because the car is able to drive down Grafton Street?
    When was Grafton Street pedestrianised? 79 or 80?

    Nice video alright. It was discussed here before, seems to be late 78-early 79.
    Reckon this film was made in 77 or 78 and certainly not in the early 80's

    The Route 18 had Atlanteans on the route from the mid 70's and IIRC Donnybrook had no Leyland RA's in fleet by 1980.

    The 7's and 8's were Atlanteans in the 70's but were one of the first to get Bombardier KD series in 1980. Inetween they had some Van Hool McArdle D series.

    Grafton Street was pedestrianised in 78 or 79, not sure which but before 1980.
    At 1:15, you can see MacDonalds on Grafton street, which opened in 77.

    The street was pedestrianised in 79.

    So my guess is winter 1978.


    There's a version of it in normal speed here:

    Yes I did, that would be MZJ 200, the owner at that time lived in Yankee Terrace, Blackrock.
