Aircoach RDS Stop (To Airport)

Hogzy

Hey folks,

Due to get an aircoach at 4:55am tomorrow morning. Im booked to get on at the RDS (Merrion Road). I have tried looking for the stop but cannot find it anywhere. I can see the stop outside Belluccis for my return leg from Airport to Ballsbridge.

Does anyone know where the Aircoach actually pulls in outside the RDS? I dont want to have a panic looking around so early in the morning.

AFAIK the stop you are looking for (assuming you're getting route 702) is near the corner of Simmonscourt road and the Merrion road at the gates to Bewleys Hotel there .

This should show it on streetview

That's the stop on the old (now discontinued) circular route via Donnybrook.

The Greystones route now stops on Merrion Road. The stop at the RDS should be at the bay where the 4, 7 and 18 stop outside the main entrance.

You won't see the stops on Streetview as the change took place since the photos were taken.

This is what I had thought aswell but there are no signs up. I just dont want to see the bus drive passed me in the morning.

EDIT: Its a bit of a joke that Aircoach dont have a map pointing out exactly where the stops are. If Dublin bus can do it with the tens of thousands of stops they have there is no reason aircoach cant do it with the hundred odd stops they use. Especially considering a large majority of people who use their service will not be familiar with the area let alone the City as a whole.

According to the Greystones route map, that stop is called 'RDS' and is between stops called 'Bewleys Hotel' and 'Ballsbridge Hotel' (the old Jurys) so it really can't be anywhere else except right outside the RDS.

Per google maps it is at the same bay as the 4, 7 and 18 stops.

I know when they launched it, they hadn't put physical stops in place, and this may still be the case.
