    Not a bad idea Alek, shame it's too sensible for its own good :)

    I imagine the shorter route was chosen so they only need 1 or 2 buses to run the service?

    that would be cool - I work in IFSC and at the moment the only way to get to Grafton St or the Green Line is to walk (about 20 mins).

    Bus services:
    The 90A and 91 went quite some time ago when the 90 and 92 were reorganised, although the 92 timetable has a note about the 91. Its possible the 91 runs as an unscheduled service.

    The 91 was never a timetabled service - it was and still is an extra service that operates to meet trains between Heuston Station and O'Connell Bridge.

    To summarise, we now have the following rail connecting services:

    90: Heuston Station-IFSC returning via Connolly Station
    91: Heuston Station-O'Connell Bridge (Untimetabled extras)
    92: Heuston Station-Wilton Terrace
    93: Docklands Station-O'Connell Bridge
