Athlone thread

The buses rarely keep to schedule since switching to EV. That would be my biggest gripe with them

I find buses never keep to a schedule regardless of powertrain

This wasn't ever a mystery. Putting the heat on takes extra energy. Same applies to petrol/diesel but they have longer range.

Fitzy ensuring the rural gombeen vote in the next election rather than accepting that this can be overcome. Easily solvable by either getting bigger batteries or more buses to provide redundancy when charging required.

Did you enquire with The Sheraton? Or The Prince of Wales? Shamrock Lodge and Creggan Court would need a cab out probably.

Prince of Wales closed.

Where does a decent kebab in Athlone?

No particular order: Apache Pizza, Mangal Grill, Takeaway Express

Second for king kebab.

Although at 3am every kebab is delicious

Thanks for recommendations. It's for the weekend so all good 👍

Kebabs are tan food. Goto England for kebabs.

Bnq I think do better price panels

No. Bnq weren't here in the 1920s

Good god every street work on Athlone takes an age. A 50m stretch in sean costello street still looks ages from finished.

What is going on honestly? Has technology gone backwards, working talent gone to muck or what?

Im hoping they change the layout or do something for the new junction at pump lane, last night i drove past Dunnes, from Tesco, then wanted to go left through town. the way it is now though, a stupid speed bump right before the pedestrian crossing and a car on the other side of the road, but the way the road is, im going up hill, so the light from oncoming cars are directly in my eyes from anyone waiting to turn right, then pedestrians come out of nowhere to cross at the pedestrian crossing cause they're coming from round the corner so very difficult to see!

What kind of engineer saw this and thought "yes, thats ideal"??

Too much roadworking going lads, Abbey Rd near the Radisson, Paynes Lane, Sean Costello St, Arcadia at the care centre.

Abbey Road near the Polish shop had a stop and go there too recently and now they've gone and left the road in shite. This is just my route into and out of town so no doubt there's a lot more out there.

I bring my young fella over to Laura in barber bobs in monksland. She's puts the kids at ease.
