    I haven't seen this discussed elsewhere

    It's been a major frustration of mine for years that the bus stops near the cherrywood and brides Glen Luas stops are ridiculously far away AND that when coming up to Brides Glen the 84 instead of dropping you on the Bus stop on the left near Ben Dunne Gym which is closest, the bus goes up...around the roundabout and back over to the far right side dumping you way on the other side of the street where you've to cross back over a busy road

    I never understood why, even with the B2 Bray Luas extension in mind, they didn't have a bus terminus there (since busses and just drive over newly extended tracks) and thus you've to walk up a pain in the ass hill

    So credit to them for this.

    I've a few questions in case anyone knows:

    1. Are there plans to put RTPI at the new terminus? Or will people get off the Luas and wait around like jagoffs with no idea when it's coming? (Not everyone has it on their smartphones)

    2. Were coming into winter and there's no shelter at the Luas stop, will there be bus shelters?

    3. Are there any plans to put an RTPI monitor at the 3134 stop on Wyatville Road? This is one of the busiest stops in the area and the only 145 connection for people coming from the Luas traveling south
    It's also always seemed absurd to be that the far less frequently used 84 stops in Cherrywood both have shelters but the way busier 3134 stop which is also a major Aircoach and Wexford Bus stop has none!

    4. What happened to the idea of extending the 59 route through Shankill and combined with 45a having a more frequent bus service to Dun Laoghaire?

    Straightening out the 7 route should cut down journey time

    Just a note to DB: On the 63 don't call it the Glenamuck Luas Stop a lot of people won't know what that is (its called that on the website and info booklets about the changes) call it the Carrickmines stop
