    I got CityLink from Galway up last night at 1:15 and GoBus back down at 7:15 this morning. The roads didn't seem that bad. I think the south-east of the country might be worse though..


    oops - not Dublin Bus.. nevermind!

    Yeh I'm getting the same message also but it was working fine up to very recently as I was checking the 45/a for a girl in work :)

    1506 Dublin Bus has advised that there is currently a limited service operating on all routes.

    This is due to extreme weather and icy road conditions. This is being further worsened by traffic congestion and slow speeds across the city.

    The company is making every effort to maintain a level of service but this is proving very difficult due to the worsening road conditions.

    Just rang DB on an internal line.

    Drivers have been told to pull in if they think its unsafe......

    Not all routes cancelled as far I can hear on Dublin Bus radio, they're asking drivers who feel safe moving to go ahead and try to complete their routes anyone who doesn't feel it's safe to stay where they are. They are not expecting conditions to improve much

    Just had call from somebody leaving Sandyford Ind Estate-the 114 from Blackrock just went past in kilcross direction, and will hopefully be back in a few mins to bring folk to Blackrock and the sweet, sweet Dart!

    Bit sensationalist to write 'THEY'RE CANCELED'!


  • Registered Users Posts: 73 ✭✭MsDarcy


    Haha .. I've given up on study along time ago and have spent the last hour looking for a credible source to relieve me of my boredom ..I've two buses to get and I dont want to risk getting caught in town. that or I'm just lazy haha


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,138 ✭✭✭foxy06


    Husband is a db driver out of Ringsend and they were all told to pull in at 2.00 but then told they could move off again at 2.45 so they are not all cancelled completely at them moment anyway.
