    Is there any reliable way of knowing if particular bus services will be running properly tomorrow? The Dublin bus website hasn't updated since Friday.

    I was in the 50 bus tonight from the city centre to Citywest and my journey took 3 hours. The bus got as far as jobstown before the driver put everyone off
    and I had to walk the rest of the way.

    If it's this bad tomorrow around 7am, I'd like to know if there will be any buses showing up around the citywest bus stops.

    Well the snow is supposed to get worse tonight so I'd say don't be making any travel plans anyways.

    Get up earlier and phone the garage who looks after the route? Not ideal .. but I guess it's hard to account for the weather.

    I wouldnt trust the busses.
    no mention of any changes to the 184, or 84. I spent 3 and a half hours sitting on it yesterday, and was then turfed out at the wrong end of greystones, 2 miles at least from home!

    there seem to be almost no trains, and none south from town past connolly ( so not south at all basically) and pearce station is closed. I'd say just stay at home!
