    what part of toilet don't you understand? Go back and read my original post!

    the part where you wrote that you need a toilet on a bus cause you insist on having six pints before you board. bring extra knickers.

    maybe you should bring a saucer of milk along with the extra knickers - miaow ;)

    or better still - I think pampers do "pull-ups" now - no need for a toilet at all then and you could be a devil and have seven pints.

    well tiny toilets that you can't fit into would be a fault

    i work on a lot of buses and they all have very narrow toilets. you can sparely stand for a pee and its too narrow to sit. if they get full its disgusting.

    The Go bus deffo has a toilet but not all the citylink busses do.

    If they both leave around the same time then best to check before you board!
    :)

    do any of the citylinks have toilets?

    That's why I'm asking which buses have toilets! You think drinking six pints is irresponsible? LOL, this is the GALWAY forum, I'm almost ashamed I will only be drinking six pints!
    drinking pints no problem, acting the maggot on a bus, another thing. the driver might stop once nad keep everyone lese waiting. unlikley though if there is a toilet, albeit a small one on board.

    You could just bring an empty 3l Country Spring bottle. Should cover the six pints, roughly.

    The Citylink Direct Buses have toilets, these are all originally, and currently Callinans buses.
    The Citylink, (Citylink bought and formerly operated now operated by Callinans) multistop buses

    And that's an interesting point.

    Someone else said support local and go with Burkes.

    But Citylink have contracted their services to Callinans, and Galway company unless I'm mistaken. Burkes is a Tuam company.

    So which counts as "local" these days?

    And my Granny is from Tuam!:D

    gobus are nonstop to the airport and have a loo, so you can 'go' on the bus. :D

    driver did say tho on the last trip that alcohol is is forbidden on board, so if you are tipsy, he will be keepng an eye on you in case you are still drinking, and you might get chucked off.

    callinans used to supply their buses to Gobus, however this changed when citylink were able to offer more cash. Citylink are one of the biggest transport companies in the world

    GoBus aren't non-stop to the airport, they are non-stop to Dublin City and they then go to the airport from there via the Port Tunnel.

    Sometimes for the 1/2am(ish) services from Galway, they will go directly to the airport on the M50 but only if everyone on the bus has bought tickets to the airport (there's not many people who need to arrive in Dublin City in the middle of the night, where as many people will need to catch early morning flights so this is sometimes the case).

    By the way, Go bus have introduced a new winter timetable (in effect since yesterday). From what I can see, the timetable is the same except there are extra buses on Fridays and Sundays.

    Ha ha! That's a different one, love the name! The other one looks like a Mc Don's large chip carton and is biodegradable (so you only use it once!) - can't find a linky for it, but evidently there are a lot of different types

    Does anyone know of any service other than Bus Eireann who run to Shannon Airport now that citylink decided to stop running there (after I'd booked my 06.30 flight...)

    There's an enterprising taxi/hackney? who was advertising on one of the local papers last week (sorry, can't remember which), I think it was E89 to Shannon.

    Other than that, spend the night
    - in a BnB down there, or
    - riding GoBus or CityLink to Dublin, followed by JJ Kavanagh back across the country leaving from Dublin around 12-midnightish (from memory).

    (I'd choose the first option!)

    Anybody know how the p!ss-artist got on?

    Only joking, no offence intended.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,210 ✭✭✭dolphin city


    LOL - he's still there - turns out he was full of s*ite - hence the need for the toilet :D:D:D

    (people with the "sense of humour" chip missing, need not read). :P
