    Went to get a 39A last night around 21.10 and there was one due so I thought great. But as time went on there was no sign of it and as time went on it disappeared off the rtpi sign without any sign off it. I got one about 15-20 minutes later

    Waiting on it again tonight and the same thing has happened again. On the board, no sign and it disappears again off the board without any show. Am waiting on one now due in 7 Minutes.

    I rang control and they confirmed it didn't run last night or tonight due to operational problems. The thing is why is it still showing on the rtpi 2nd day in a row when they knew it wouldn't run. Its inconvinienced me for the 2nd night in a row because I went for a bus that didn't show! :mad:

    Sounds possibly like the controller didn't remove it from the system.

    Before a bus leaves the terminus the schedule is displayed up until about 2 minutes prior to departure, when it switches to the live equipment on the bus, which requires that the bus driver has programmed the ticket machine for that journey.

    The only other explanation that I have, and now that I think about it actually may be more plausible, is that that journey involved a driver change and no driver was available for the second half - hence the bus operated into town but not beyond it. There certainly was an issue with unscheduled short workings not appearing correctly on the on-street displays, however this was addressed for the Dublin Buss app.

    I would always advise using the Dublin Bus app as it is coming directly from the system.
