From looking at the 39/A timetable it seems that the few buses that will run this modified route will still involve running down Shelerin Road and (presumably) into Hartstown ans Huntstown to the Blanch Centre. It's almost as tortuous as the existing route (with the exception of Clonsilla Village which can get nasty). The whole of Blanch needs a proper local service and until DART comes this way (and as in any normal country the majority of buses are deployed as feeders into the faster train network) the 39 should have some backup in the shape of decent direct bus services from the greater Blanch area to the city. The likes of Ongar should have a bus that runs straight down the new road and north along Blanch Rd South to the town centre but then running straight out to the village (ie, not doubling back to get to the Clonsilla Rd.

Really of course, the priority should be the interconnector to allow these medium/high density developments along the Maynooth and Northern lines (and of course Adamstown!!) to really work and provide a decent quality of life to the poor feckers who work in town but can't afford an apartment there.

Is it possible that DB may have made a mistake. The rás finishes in Skerries and AFAIK does not go through Balbriggan. Perhaps they intended to say that the 33/33A will not serve Skerries?

Dublin Bus are pleased to announce Route 18 is been extended to Donnybrook Garage and will now service St.Vincent’s Hospital and Belfield from Monday 10th July 2006.

Dublin Bus are pleased to announce Route 114 will be extended to Ticknock from Monday 10th July 2006.

loyatemu

so, does it go to sandymount then to vincents, ucd and back to donnybrook garage?

if thats the case it's adding a very circuitous extension onto an already very long and slow route.

Xylophonic

It all seems a bit too long nwo the route. The journey time was at 70/5 minutes to complete when it operated from Sandymount to Palmerstown. I now suspect it will be near 90 and about 120 in the peak!!

I saw an 18 parked up at St. Johns Church (in Sandymount but not in the village) recently. Was it terminating there for a while?

Yes, look at the link above which still shows the current not the new timetable. It was extended to there in Nov last year.

Can't see a great deal of sense in this extention, although it will mean a big increase in buses from Sydney Parade station to Belfield.

Whereabouts in Ticknock and Bracken Hill are the stops?

popebenny16

Is it just me or were there more departure on the 18 in the past?

Jesus I'd say that is one hell of a trip to take from Palmerstown to the Garage, I'd want a cup of tea after that!!!

The main reason for the route extension is that the drivers change over and take their breaks at Donnybrook Depot.

This extension therefore gets rid of dead ety mileage and improves public transport from Sydney Parade to UCD!

Yeah, departures have been slashed, I'll check the old timetable at home.

If you think Dublin bus would do anything to make the driver's life easier your living on a different planet, the reason it was extended was because the residents of D4 dont like buses terminating outside there houses, it makes the place look untidy.

Running the route all the way to the garage is not for the benefit of the drivers, it means the company do not have to pay fuel duty on the out-of-service runs to/from the terminus.

spareman

Really? Would it be more expensive for the fuel they use to run the bus the extra 2 miles up via belfield or pay the Vat on the fuel they use from sandymount? There are still buses driving to/from Old lucan road out of service.

Finally, a bus straight from my house to UCD.
Even if it does take longer than the 2 bus route, I usually have a 10 minute walk between buses, so overall I'm a happy camper.

Feel free to post timetable changes here for any bus and train services. Please keep chat to a minimum.
