Since DoT won't pay for a city centre bus depot, there's not much DB can do about this. The station at Jervis st might go some small way to alleviating that.

I personally feel that the Abbey St/ Gt Strand St will be a complete washout on the basis of access given the pinch point at Liffey St on one side and the narrowness of Gt Strand St on the other; combine this with the fact that the approach To Great Strand St from Jervis St regularly gridlocks as do all exits via Capel St and this site starts to become very unattractive as a bus terminal. I am starting to come around to the idea of a docklands bus station replacing the temporary station at Spencer Dock with the spare Luas Red line capacity soaked up post interconnector.
The Abbey St site should be re-tendered as a straight disposal
