    According to the 41x timetable the Dublin bound services in the morning have a stop on swords main street. But the bus doesn't go up the street, it turns down by the council offices instead

    The journey planner website will only match specific locations, in the order Dublin bus decide, so only one of Swords main street or main street swords appears as a valid location. Neither Malahide station nor Malahide train station are valid locations, you have to use Malahide DART station. Leaving aside the fact that a significant number of trains serving places north of Malahide stop there, the journey planner throws a link to the route 102 bus. One of the stops on the 102 timetable online is... Malahide train station!

    The Journey Planner is a joke. They should fire their website developers or whoever it is that came up with it.

    The official iPhone app is also a joke, it keeps crashing and it can't find half the bus stops when you search for them by address.

    Hopefully Google Maps will introduce a public transport planner for Dublin soon.

    Won't happen because DB refuse to share timetable and route information with them.

    Or with themselves even
    The swords road "map" completes a grand slam by pointing out Malahide rail station
