    Departures from Derry at 04:15, 07:00, 13:00 and 16:30 will set down passengers at George's Quay, Dublin.

    Some of those departures are Ulsterbus route X4 and operate via Armagh and Dungannon and do not serve Monaghan.

    Correct list is here:

    I made and run the website where I took the list from, and have spent a bit of time compiling the information from a variety of sources. Was started as a hobby project to stop me getting bored in the height of the recession when there was no IT work going.

    Am pretty sure I posted this on a declaration of interest thread here ages ago. I make a little money from the advertising - enough to cover the domain registration and some, nowhere near enough to pay for my time.



    And I'm pretty sure that most people have no idea just how much public transport is provided by non-state-owned companies already.

    You put a great deal of effort into compiling all that info and at a time when the authorities giving these operators licences couldn't be arsed to tell the public what services were being run on their behalf.

    Absolutely no justification in criticising you for posting the info or linking to your website.

    It does rather drop a bomb on the ridiculous argument that CIE, BE in particular, have a monopoly as well.
