Why?

You might have better luck actually asking Dublin Bus. Not sure anyone on here would have the specific details, but I assume it's due to capacity and usage. :rolleyes:

There's a Dublin Bus driver online for "one night only" and he'll answer any questions put to him about how Dublin Bus works.

because nobody used it, the 45 was always empty and declined while the 2 actual transport corridors either side of it N11 and coastal routes ahve grown and the 7, 145 and 46a are very busy routes.

Wasn't the 45 a busy route when it actually ran all the way into the city centre. Then DB started mucking about with it, changing its terminus every couple of months untill they successfully killed it.

Once the 145 was established along the Stillorgan QBC as the principal high frequency route to/from Bray, the numbers dropped significantly on the 45.
