    Can someone explain why the 05.37 from tyrrelstown to Broombridge takes so long? often it arrives at my stop 06.00 to 06.05, in theory it should take 15 to 20 minutes to get to my stop, but it's never on time, when it does arrive 1 just about make the 06.19 luas. I did complain to DB their response is traffic!!

    A good bet is that it doesn't even start on time from Tyrrelstown – today's 5.37 seemengly left 10 minutes late. It would all depend on how much time it's given to get from Harristown garage I guess (I have a 5.15 garage departure in my archives), and how reliably on time it leaves said garage.

    If and when this bus comes is a matter for the ouiji board tbh. I don't get the routing either, why doesn't it go through broombridge and then continue to the park gates and connect with the Navan road bus services

    I think there's going to be a new bus route at Broombridge that will go down to Parkgate St or similar.

    And the 40e is/was/maybe will be replaced and that route will skip Cabra and go through the Ballybogan road and over the bridge.


    My main issue with it is when schools are back because the bus is full when the kids get on. They seem to have a second bus at times though.

    The N2 and a new L route will cover it but the L route will be hourly and the way the service is, hourly may quickly turn into not at all

    Yeah, it needs more frequency at peak commuting times


    I'm also very irritated at how the 40e will depart Broombridge like a minute before some trains arrive.

    I think you’re possibly getting mixed up.

    The 40E will be replaced by the L62 which will be every 30 mins off-peak and every 15 mins at peak.

    15 mins at peak would be great. I'm sure the bus drivers dislike having the bus nearly full from 7am to 8am at school term.

    Hopefully the improvements to the Ratoath road might help it too. But both are a long way a while yet

    It won't happen until the B-Spine phase unfortunately, which is the last but one.
