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).

Tarabuses

How would the bus travel between Harcourt Street and the Luas terminus?

AlekSmart

Ok......Just a moment while Alek don`s don a tin Hat and Flak Jacket....Enters steel lined container,bolts door behind him and shouts........."ALONG HARCOURT ST PROPER"..............................Sound of crashing cymbals and RPA/DCC oficials falling from high-stools at the 19Th.. :eek:

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
