that with buseireann? just out of interest, does anyone else do the route?

Limerick Dude

yes that is with bus eireann

i do use that route quite often.

billy the squid

did it once or twice. would prefer if they didnt fart around borris half way there though.

anyone know do u need the cie student discount card to get the discount fares or can u use any student card?

Dave

You can use any student card. They don't even ask most of the time. It's €15 return aswell, and the ticket is valid for a month. Beats paying €50 for the train :eek:

Limerick Dude

well i suppose its good for some stopping in borris n ossory but then on the other hand theres times when you just want to get to the place your going asap

that the same deal if u take the train?

Blush_01

No, you need the Student TravelCard for the train. It's a conspiracy. But the savings you make are pretty impressive. I practically save the price of the card in bus fares around dublin on a weekly basis, never mind getting the ticket to Limerick Junction.

They accept a small number of college/uni cards as well (There's a small A4 page with the list on the window in the bus station:))
The TravelCard is well worth the money! *Especially*, if you ever use the trains..

Never taking the journey from hell that is the bus to dublin anyone ever do it on friday and then try around christmas. CAme down from Dublin on the train yesterday it was grand and not nearly as tiring as the bus journey. Although 48 sobs is a little extortionate when you can fly to London or paris for less

No word of a lie. was going from cork to limerick on the bus. was bringing my nephew down to the guide dog place to see his mum when she was training down there.

I had never gotten that bus before but he had, so the bus driver was depending on a 10 year old for directions to the railway station in Limerick.
