BusConnects Dublin - Bus Network Changes Discussion

Regarding 122 what change that do? Where will it go to

Could anybody clarify a question I have on the D-Spine. Looking at the big picture map it would seem that for all intents and purposes the D2 is the 27 replacement and the D3 is the 15 replacement. These are the two buses I tend to use most regularly on my commute.

My question is what is going to be the through city centre route for these routes? Are they being taken out of Dame Street in favour of using the quays as far as Christchurch and Winetavern Street? The big picture map doesn't really show exactly what is happening here.

The buses are busy enough even without the cancellations.

Any updates on getting ANPR up and running yet?

Anyone know what Dublin Bus SG is used in the TFI ad? Can't figure out which one by the letters, also RIP old TFI livery

Do we know who has responsibility for this? TII or does new legislation still need to be passed?

27 will be fully replaced by D2, with some routing changes at Tallaght side.

D1 and D3 will replace northern section of 15. Southern sections of D1 and D3 will follow that of 151 from city centre, with D1 fully replacing that section of 151 and D3 turning at Woodford to follow 13 routing. Current 15's southern section will become part of different bus route A1.

So if you want to get to Camden at under new network, you'd have to get off at quays at Wellington Quay then walk to street, or transfer to A Spine that will stop at Camden

The 27 and D2 are very similar routes. From what I can tell they are almost identical with the most notable difference being it uses the Quays rather than Dame St and CG. However the last bit of the route west of The Square is different. The D2 extends all the way to Citywest like the 77A does, but its routing is more direct. The 27 and 77A coverage west of The Square is being covered between the D2 and D4, but it is not 1:1.

However, the 15 is much more significant change. The northside route is being replaced by the D1 and D3, with the D1 being the 1:1 route and their combined frequency being what actually replaces the 15. However the southside route isn't being replaced by the D-spine, rather it is being replaced by the A1. Also for context the southside D1 and D3 are going to replace the 151 and 13. Then Northside A1 is replacing the 16, but terminates in Beaumont instead of continuing along Swords Rd.

Jesus that is shocking.
Without ANPR BC just won’t be as effective.

My wording was bad but my point was that A1 is replacing up the Beaumont Village portion of the 16. Also more generally I was trying to make the point that many of the routes aren't being replaced by a spine route 1 for 1, as that was part of the question I was responding to.

The A2 is the more direct replacement for the 16 especially since the airport is the more important destination, but my comment was about the A1 so I didn't really feel the need to mention that. I would also point out that while the A2 is the closest to the 16, there are still some other notable changes. Most important is that it serves Rathmines instead of Harold's Cross.
