Mr Trade In

I have just come across this while checking the timetable for my local service,

"Route 67 will be extended to Moyglare Road" - brilliant, but too late for me...

Probably won't happen. Dad's a bus driver and loads of them don't want to drive that road, it's a nightmare to get a bus down it, with all the kids etc, and then bus stops and what they need to turn the bus around a "swing about", there is no where for this to happen.
It has been talked about for years, but it has never gotten through! I'm really surprised this is even being talked about. Must asked Daddy when he gets in!
(He drives the 66 bus!)

66 extending to Beaufield/Meadowbrook......I presume they'll just put the bus stop outside the Newtown Inn OR reinstate the out of service stops near enough to Meadowbrook.

Well considering morning traffic you'll probably be quicker walking from the normal 67a terminal.

after talking to my dad, they do plan on bringing it in. A lot of the buses are being moved to different garages, which doesn't effect the bus times but it does effect the drivers, longer travel etc.

This extension to Moyglare is great for me. Good choice !

Hi live in the celbridge area does anyone have any idea are they going to put on extra buses to serve the celbridge area as they are few are far between at off peak time.........It can take up to twenty minutes at the moment for the 67 to come from the teminus at the Salesian College I would not like to time how long it will take to get from moyglare rd. and are the 67A going to left as is very little information on the dublin bus website about the celbridge maynooth area...... It gives the most information about the lucan area........ do we not count as dublin bus passengers........

In a word, no.

I've seen 67a's turn off at the roundabout at Salesian's onto the motorway and go Out Of Service because there's been nobody on the bus. There are 9 stops after Croudaun but apparently that doesn't matter because ah sure it's only Celbridge.

And the magical buses that only take 30 minutes to get to Celbridge that sometimes take an hour and 15 minutes at the same time of day but on a different day and sometimes don't turn up at all?

Celbridge is a shíthole in general but the Dublin bus service is a joke. I wouldn't get my hopes up about it drastically improving even with this new upgrade.

Dont agree that celbridge is a ****hole..... but have seen 67 going out the motorway with out of service and agree with you on that point.... I agree celbridge does need a reliable bus service.......... Dublin bus and all representive in the celbridge area should be lobbying on our behalf.... I think dublin bus could have the courtsey to give full details of the changes for the maynooth celbridge area on their website and not just lucan......... Lucan is dublin west celbridbe maynooth lexlip is north kildare.

Unfortunately, unlike in other European countries, it's apparently unnacceptable to provide unprofitable public transport in this country. See nitelinks being cut for example. The government allows the CIE group companies to make these sort of decisions as they simply cannot afford to prop up failing gaps in the service. Affordable and efficient public transport should be the foundation, not what we strive for. In short, it's dublin bus provides a criminally bad service and no one in power gives a ****.
