    Fair play to them for having the honesty to put the existing times alongside the new ones.

    Dublin Bus Should take note of this and try something similar instead of selling every cut as an improvement.

    Nice changes to the Luas. On the Green line, that will end the green line split service between Sandyford/Bride's Glen and St Stephen's Green.

    That alignment always seemed confusing.

    Was that arrangement gone ages ago?

    So no more 12:30am trams on Red & Green lines on Monday to Saturday and 11:30pm on a Sunday - weird move to drop them to 12am (Monday to Saturday) and 11pm (Sunday) but lets see how it will work...still Luas bets DB with last bus/tram on Monday to Saturday

    This is only for inbound trams. The last tram from The Point and St. Stephen's Green still departs at 00:30 Monday to Saturday and midnight on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

    Was going to say the same thing. The pages linked to in the OP are best read after first reading this page:
