    Why don't you do a run on it yourself and see?

    Not the greatest reliability wise. I'm at the terminus end of it (Kilbarrack) and it's still hard to put up with it.

    9.05am bus would regularly not turn up, or be 15/20 mins late, and lately there's been buses not showing up in the evenings leaving 40/50 minute gaps.

    Extremely frustrating too if you've to put up with it going through Beaumont Hospital too. Usually gets stuck in there and at the lights trying to get out to the Oscar Traynor Road for 15mins +.

    It used to be a great bus and incredibly reliable but the extension to Blanch and the diversion into the hospital and away from the newly constructed bus lane made it useless for me. It probably depends a lot on what part of the route you're using.

    I've gotten it from Blanch out to Ballymun and beyond a few times. Handy enough, but it can often be late.

    I used to get the 9.05 bus for a couple of months and I don't remember it ever not showing up and it was always on time but I haven't gotten in it 2 months so maybe things have changed since then
