    151 bus, man. It's literally door to door down the Nangor Road and Long Mile Road with a bus lane most of the way.

    Thanks for that Losty.

    Does that bus carry on down past the Coombe on to Cork street and then on into the IFSC?

    Going way back, I always wondered why there was no direct bus between the city centre and Clondalkin (at least) via Dolphin's Barn, Crumlin and Long Mile Road. There was the occasional route 56 trip to Fox & Geese, but never a branch of that route that continued into Clondalkin village. Since there was no viable transfer system in effect, you had to pay a double fare to change buses to the 18 from Naas Road/Kylemore Road to Drimnagh and Crumlin, and of course three fares to reach Dolphin's Barn. (Funny thing is, the route number 57 wasn't used at the time, and I used to think that it would have fit for such a route...and there still is no route 57 anywhere in Dublin, ironically.)
