    Didn't catch much of the news when it broke, did hear something about a extra 10mins paid, so that would be 56mins instead of 46, but don't quote me on it.

    From RTE:

    The National Bus and Rail Workers' Union says it is still in discussion with Dublin Bus on whether or not buses will be running in the morning on the two new routes that were at the centre of the dispute.

    I don't understand. They have accepted the new Labour Court agreement but are still debating whether to operate the 4A and 128?

    What was the point of todays ballot?

    Maybe DB are trying to get the Union to work the 4A and 128 it its current forum (46 min) on till they get a chance to change it to 56min.But I am sure its not as simple as that.

    Trade union bosses from both Siptu and the NBRU have apologised to passengers for the action, but blamed the company for unilaterally introducing the routes - the 4A and 128 - without first discussing the rosters with drivers.

    Back to normal, it would seem. 60% voted yes, but I'd say it'd have been lower if xmas wasn't around the corner...
