The passengers use Dublin Bus since they have used it frequently in the past, it is faster for me to get home by bus than by train at 2am and its more frequent and its a lot safer walk from the bus stop than from the train station
Name any major nightspot in Dublin and you will almost certainly find the Nightlink bus stop is closer
I can see a market for a 12 and 12:30 train Thurday/Friday/Saturday year round but 2am nightlink rules and even it has seen a drop off in demand in the last few years. After a few pints all you want to do is get home and that extra 10 minutes around to Pearse is a killer
Its a bit like the WRC
Faster by bus
More convenient location
Bus is more accessible to most people
Bus is a profitable service
What we should be more worried about is getting a 23:30 to Maynooth which is a serious omission from the timetable
