    Is this website dependable? I've put in a few different stops and I'm getting mixed results.

    Moate (AIB Bank) 15067 - No arrivals or departures (the SMS service gives the same) but there is a 20 due in less than 2 hours.

    Sligo (Bus Station) - 8 arrivals in the next 4 hours, but only 1 departure?

    Lucan (Spa Hotel) 13446 - Showing Set Down Only buses as departures

    Mullingar (Rail Station) 13578 - No departures at all showing, only 2 arrivals in the next 3 hours.

    No, it seems to be worse than it used to be.

    Bus Eireann have started putting different codes for the stops on either side of the road and a number of buses get incorrectly assigned to the stop on the other side.

    Buses running more than 30 minutes late often disappear from the listing long before arriving.

    And hired buses don't display on the list reliably. Don't expect them to be tracked, but they should appear on the schedule at least with a footnoted estimate i.e with the asterisk as before.

    My experience has been that the data for those stops is confused.
