No Dublin Bus ticket agent at Heuston?

AngryLips

Hey, can anyone help me with this; was in Heuston station this morning and wanted to buy a Dublin Bus Travel 90 ticket but nether the newsagent in the train station or the Easons are Dublin Bus agents. I didn't have time to try the ticket office but surely it can't be right that one of the main train stations in the city doesn't sell bus tickets??

Losty Dublin

That's odd but isn't it as much up to Eason's to stock them as they run the shop?

I know they had vending machines around the place before but they got raided a few times.

The closest would probably be the londis near the new criminal courts but I am not certain that they are tickets agents.

According to the Dublin Bus website Londis on Parkgate Street are.

Well if you arrived by train you could have got the Bus/Luas add on when you bought your train ticket

This is exactly the sort of shytt I keep returning to in posts about Irish Public Transport.

The only suggestion I can make here is to fire off a letter to Dr John Lynch.Chairman. CIE Group Headquarters,Heuston Station,Dublin 8.

Many posters here point to very modern technological advances such as RTPI,AVLS,BBC2 and the rest....I,however,remain to be convinced that these items will be of any use UNLESS we first learn to spell,add and do joined-up writing.

Currently we appear confident of putting a 145 on Mars quite soon,whilst we still can`t identify the relevant Stops along the Quays....:rolleyes:

Its pathetic isnt it.
On another note getting your ticket is only halve the battle. After you get the ticket they hide the damn buses! (worn out 145 gag):)

I really feel sorry for any tourists trying to get around by public transport in this country!
