Direct buses between Dublin and Limerick

TPMP

Does anyone know if there are direct buses that run between Dublin and Limerick? If not, which company does the route the quickest?

Quickest way is to steal a car in Dublin, head down the motorway and dump the car, it will soon disappear again so shouldn't lead back to you.

JJ Kavanaghs, pick up outside Ulster Bank Building George's Quay (IIRC) takes about three and a half hours, used to be €10 one way.

Thats pretty much the same as Bus Eireann in length. It seems daft that there arent any non stop buses. Thanks anyway lads.

Simple reason that most people getting on those buses aren't going directly to Limerick lad.

I disagree. Most people on those routes would stay for the entire trip, with maybe a quarter getting on or off along the way. But even a non stop bus in the morning and then one in the even would make sense. The Limerick-Galway express is doing great business since starting last summer.

Well I used to take the one mentioned above fairly regularly over a number of years and the bus would have been rarely if ever close to being even close to half full by the time it got to Limerick city centre.

There are none.

I think there is the market for such a service though, the service down the old N7 is bumpy and takes ages, I go as far as Nenagh.

It might cut out the rest stop too, hate when I get on in Nenagh and before we know it, it's a rest stop. Hurry on, will ya
Yeah the driver is due a break but a direct route on the M7 and it'd be very quick

JJ Kavanaghs might do it some day but I know nothing about licensing routes and how that works

Youd imagine Citylink are looking into - must be some red tape

There arent any. I very reg do this journey ( boyf lives in Dublin) and got the bus once, I said never again. Too long, smelly and packed.
Always get the train and you can get deals on irishrail.ie for 10 e each way + 2e booking fee.

Limerick?

Plenty of prison transport buses going back and forth I'd imagine.

Well the direct Galway-Dublin bus is proving to be very successful, and if theres a market for that, which there is, then theres definitely a market for a direct Limerick-Dublin bus.
