    There's an odd notice published today on the buseireann.ie website about services operating normally today (29th October). Is there a reason behind such a post today?

    I was waiting for a bus earlier which hadn't shown up by the time I got a lift.

    Could be because of the marathon on today in Dublin city.

    This was on a route which didn't go near Dublin FYI. But yeah probably was in relation to the marathon...

    It appears that a lot of people expected the Marathon to be held TOMORROW !......and were somewhat surprised to find it was (is) being run today.....Of course a large corporate body involved in Public Transport would never make such a basic mistake. :eek:

    Yeah, but Dublin is not the only place in the Eastern region. It was a fairly sybilline update on their website.

    For 36 years until 2015 it was on the Monday so not surprising that people still think it's on the Monday
