Nitelink question

SW81 · 09-01-2008 1:57pm #1

Looking in to renting a room on the Clontarf Road (Fortview Ave if you know it).....the landlord didn't know anything about Nitelinks passing the Clontarf Road and I can't really figure it out from the Dublin Bus website anyway so if anyone knows the locality and would know if a Nitelink passes through? It's not the Howth Road, it's the James Larkin/Clontarf Road. I do bar work a few nights a week so the Nitelink is a big aspect of if I take it or not. Thanks.

According to their map the 31N goes along the Clontarf Road from Fairview as far as Watermill Rd where it takes a left to go through Raheny.

I live not too far from there, and the odd time I get a Nightlink, I get the 31N home, getting off at Clontarf Bus Garage.

See here: http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=31N

I haven't used one in a few months, but I doubt it's changed.

Thanks John, I'm looking on the Map part but can't see the 31N?

The N's don't appear on DB's map. The quality, quantity and accuracy of their information is apalling as you'll discover.

Okay looking on Google Maps...so it goes through Watermill and on to Raheny (does it go near the village?) and then back up to Howth is it? Have a friend living in Raheny who is actually asking the same thing about the Nitelink too....their website really isn't good when it comes to showing you the routes at all is it.

That's exactly the route - Fairview, Clontarf, Watermill Road, Raheny Village, Howth Road, Sutton Cross, Howth Summit, to Howth Village and terminate at Sutton Cross.

Also, on Friday and Saturday nights the 29N operates, via Fairview, Howth Road, Raheny Village, and then up to Donaghmede and across to Baldoyle.

now.
There is a new nitelink map hidden in the depths of the Dublin Bus website. (It took google advance search to find it existed)
www.dublinbus.ie/images/homepage/Nitelink%20pick%20up%20map.pdf

It might be of use to get an overview of whats going on with the routes.

That map is somewhat wrong - its missing the loop through Maynooth the 67N "all around the world" service does on Mon-Thurs (it goes Lucan->Leixlip->Maynooth->Celbridge). It effectively implies that Maynooth has no service on those days...

Also suggests the 66n and 25n are 6 day services - these operate Friday and Saturday only.

If you want to check a particular bus route you can look it up on the dublin bus website, works for nitelinks:

31n

It is on the printed maps, they are not on the website.

It goes through Raheny Village and out Howth Road.

I have to correct myself:

On Friday and Saturday the 31N routing is as above.

On Monday-Thursday it routes the same way to Raheny Village and then via Donaghmede, Baldoyle, Sutton Cross, Howth Summit, Howth Village to terminate at Sutton Cross.
