    Waited for 45 mins for the number 4 for the 1545 pickup. No sign of it so ended up getting a JJ Kavanagh's bus.

    Realtime shows no pickups till 2355 and then none till 1400 tomorrow?

    Anyone hazard a guess or is it a case of welcome to Ireland?

    Probably held up by the protest march in the city centre.

    Doesn't explain the RTPI info though?

    When a Bus Éireann bus fills up at Busaras it is then sent on to cover Heuston station and Red cow luas stops even though it is full and cant pick up anyone waiting at these stops.

    Then any hired in extra bus is sent "straight down the motorway, Don't stop for anyone till you hit Carlow"! so these buses are told NOT to stop at Heuston or the red cow because they don't have ticket machines etc.

    As for why the buses don't appear on the real time information it might be that the information is not up to date? originally iirc only a couple of the 004 buses stopped at the red cow each day but now all buses are timetabled to stop there, maybe an old timetable is being used for the RTPI information?

    Also if the timetable and particularly the route information for that RTPI.ie site is got from the NTA it may not be accurate.
