    I am due to take the non-stop bus from Dublin to Galway tomorrow evening, could anyone give me an estimate of how much longer it will take with the icy and snowy weather. Website says 2 and quarter hours just wondering how much extra with the snow and ice?

    Dunno if you mean Citylink?
    Gobus has the time at 2.30, not 2.15.
    it is rarely ever much shorter than 220. I'd add a half an hour anyway, but it really depends on the driver.
    We had one brilliant guy during last snow, who sped up a bit on the good road, and then was ahead when we hit bad show. Only 10 mins late in. On the way back however, the driver wasn't as experienced, and we came in 50 mins late (bad snow still on half route tho).

    Well yesterday evening coming back from Dublin on GoBus, we left at about 5.20 and we met some snow on the way into Galway. Arrived in Galway at about 8.05...

    I did DUB-GAL on GoBus on Sunday evening of the last big snow (3/4 weeks ago). 7:15pm bus got in about 10:30pm, timetable said 9:45pm.

    Fair juice to the driver too, there was freezing fog just about the whole way, must be horrible to drive in.

    that doesnt make sense, the buses drive flat out(on the limiter of 100kph) so its not possible to be ahead of schedule due to driving faster because its not possible to drive faster
