[Dublin Bus] Changes to bus routes in Blanchardstown, Stillorgan and Lucan on the way

Mark Hennessy · 26-04-2010, 12:39

The route maps and frequencies look good, but the implementation (without political influence) as always will be the key.

Looking at the routes around Blanch, there seems to be zero indication that these buses actually serve other forms of transport.

It would be good to record each stop that serves a train station and pass these onto DB in an effort to advertise these facts.

The new 145 (Heuston to Ballywaltrim via north quays, O'Connell Bridge, D'Olier Street, Kildare Street, Leeson Street, Stillorgan Road, Foxrock Church, Cabinteely, and Loughlinstown) looks useful.

Agreed, although I was thinking of going to Heuston with the 46a.

I was thinking that myself but given the 10 is going it would be the better choice to send the 46A upto infirmary road

The 145 is still a good frequent service... A good replacement for the 92

The map is now showing links with other forms of transportation.

For example the Blanchardstown map now shows

- Enhanced 17A : Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown to Howth Junction DART Station

- Clonsilla station: will be served by the new route 39, to get the new 39A walk to the traffic lights (right out of the station) turn left then at traffic lights turn right, bus shelter is there

- Coolmine Station: enhanced 37 passes around the corner from the station, the coolmine end is served by the 39, the 237 is to be cancelled.

- Castleknock Station: Served by the 37 and the 38, walk to Blanchardstown village to get the 38 or 39

- Phoenix Park station: served by 38/A, 39/A, 70

- Ashtown station: Served by 38/A, 39/A, 70, 120

Frequencies will be

37: 10 peak, 20 off-peak

38: 20 peak and off-peak
38A: 20 peak

39: 20 peak and off-peak
39A: 10 peak and off-peak

70: 20 peak, 60 off-peak

It would be interesting if they ran, say, the 39a via Heuston and even the Phoenix Park. It would improve the N11-Heuston connection and provide a lot of Balnchardstown with a proper connection to Heuston.

Just to bump this thread dublin bus are still saying the new services will begin this sunday, 25th july although seeing is believing.

They are saying they wont release timetables until the end of the week as last time it happened it caused mass confusion

Time will tell!
