New 175 route......Information please?!

DUBLINBUSGUY

Hi, all. Go-Ahead Ireland will be operating their first route from the 9th of September, route 175 from Citywest to UCD via Dundrum.

As far as I know there is no information yet about the timetable and the exact route.

All I know is that it will be stopping at Dundrum LUAS and on the main street as there are new TFI stops there.

I think that it is quite ridiculous that they seem to be waiting until last minute with giving out information about the route.

With the start of the school term basically upon us would they not have released the information earlier...What about students in UCD who could benefit from this route but they aren't able to make plans because they have no timetable/route information.

Usually Dublin Bus release timetable/service changes two weeks in advance at the latest. Today is 2 weeks until the 9th of September, when the 175 route begins operating.

Maybe today is the day. Maybe later there will be information. We must note that previous timetable/service changes by Dublin Bus usually have been on Sundays. Notice how all of Go-Ahead routes are starting operations on Sundays. So this might mean today is the day.

Also, I am a bus enthusiast. I am going to be doing a bus spin on the 9th of September on the 175 route. It is really frustrating that I don't have any information to plan a spin.

What do you think? Also.....if you have any info PLEASE SHARE.
Thanks in advance.

The bus would show up at the stop, roughly 5 mins after it disappeared from the app

Not an unusual occurrence on DB services either might I add

I think the only bus lane along the route is Taylor's Lane, mental! The 175 really does fill a deficit, which hopefully the S8 will do too.

The entire route has been built over the years with absolutely no bus priority without a lot of investment... even the narrowed, cycle friendly roundabout at the Knocklyon road... there is no way to fit a bus lane in there on both sides, its crazy.

BusConnects Mark II might sort it. Only 12 years!

How are people finding the 175 service? I got it today from Oldbawn and it was ten minutes late, but it was heading into rush hour. My cousin, however, told me that there have been loads of complaints regarding it being late but its just hearsay.

So far I haven't had any problems. Only takes me 25 minutes to get to Dundrum now instead of 40-45 minutes on the 17/75. Even during rush hour it only took an extra 10 minutes.

Which section is that? I think the worst section is the Wyckham Way roundabout, the lights at Balally/Sandyford Rd, and J12.

The section from UCD to Dundrum.
