    For the weather we're having this week (storms, rain, cold) and the time of year, I find it not too bad. The last few years, the traffic was worse in my memory.

    Nah this year has absolutely been the worst in memory. If I could plot my commute times (hell even my non-commute ones) in a graph, I'm sure this year would soar sky high.

    Sometimes I take an Xpress bus into town in the AM, normally 30/35 minutes which is grand. Tuesday was 2 whole hours!

    Since September my commute times have been roughly 50/55 mins meaning I've had to get up earlier and get an earlier bus which still barely gets me into work on time. Last Christmas was pretty bad too but I dont remember it being this bad. 2 years ago and beyond it was grand. I actually didn't mind the commute. Now it's just part of the day I dread the most.

    More people working, more cars, crap to non existent public transport infrastructure.

    Earlier than that. I don't have an option of a bus that ploughs down the N4. Either up the N7 via Bluebell which is diabolical (as always), or across Crumlin which has gotten progressively worse.

    Would the outer link rd, down to belgard, down greenhill and turn right at wakinstown roundabout and use crumlin back streets work?
