    Hi Folks,

    I’ve noticed a few shuttle buses going around Portmarnock.

    One seems top say Lidl bus. The other says something else. :confused:

    Are these the same company?

    Also what are their routes?

    I've been trying work out where they go. There's a Lidl, but there's also a train station in Baldoyle (Bayside).

    Are they open to the public or for employees only.

    Thanks in advance Folks.

    I've seen those waiting in the station carpark. Across the disabled spaces, actually! The other minibus says something like "Portmarnock Shuttle Bus" on it. Don't know the routes, but the next time I get the chance I'll try to remember the name of the operators and give them a call.

    (By the way, I don't know who'd get a bus to Lidl... but it could be the one down on the Malahide Road/Coolock that it goes to...)

    The shuttlebus apparently stops at bus stops and picks up folk to bring them to Portmarnock DART station, since there is no feeder bus to said station. Open to the public but I believe it costs a euro or something?

    Just bumping this thread because its actually a really handy service and would like to see it do well.

    It serves the village, all along the coast road up to Spar, Wendell Avenue, Redfern Avenue, Carrickhill Road and back to the station.

    It runs Monday to Saturday 6.30am - 9.30am and 4pm - 8pm and on Sunday 9.30am - 11.30 and 4pm - 7pm. Oh and it costs €1 and runs every 15 minutes between the hours above.
