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

[ThomasJ]

Just for reference for passengers who rely on dublin bus connections, there are changes to dublin bus connections taking place soon. The first phase of these changes cover the Blanchardstown, Lucan and Stillorgan areas.

Details are here:

Blanchardstown: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Network-D...lanchardstown/

Lucan: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Network-D...Phase-1/Lucan/

Stillorgan: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Network-D...-1/Stillorgan/

These changes are expected to take place over the summer

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
