    I see in the indo there is an add today heralding the opening of the new 151 bus route. Anyone know if this route is faster in practice than the 51b\c, 68 and 69 bus routes from clondalkin (nangor road) into town? Am well sick of the monestry road bottle neck, followed by inchicore. At least there is a qbc up to the longmile road.

    It should be faster, it is QBC all up Cork Street. No QBC on Crumlin Road but it usually moves fast enough. QBC Starts again on Drimnagh Road all the way up to Clondalkin.

    well i tried it on the way home from work and it was crap. waiting for 25mins on Burg Key for a bus. Bus then took 30 mins to get from there to Kevin St and another half an hour from there to my stop on the nangor road.
    Asked the driver when i was getting off is it usually that bad and he said not usually as bad as today (city centre traffic was atrocious). He said it took him 25mins yesterday from Docklands station to Dame St. and after that its normally grand. He said it flies in in the morning though that they are in so fast they get a 30 wait untill they have to come out again. so might try it tomorrow morning and see.

    Talking to a driver, he said they were averaging 60 minutes against a scheduled 75 minutes.

    i think it goes Dame St.->Werburgh St on the way out of town, and patrick st.->Ormond quay coming into town. Thats the impression I get from the timetable, but I haven't used the service yet.
