    Hi,

    I'm going to Sligo from Dublin tomorrow but the Bus Eireann buses seem to take upwards of 7 hours. Surely there is a more direct service than this?

    I need to be in Sligo by 7pm at the latest. Thanks guys.

    The longest I've been on a bus is 5 hours, usually they're 3.5 - 4 hours, never 7!!

    The train is a lot nicer. Seriously.

    There's no competitor to BÉ . (There may have been a competitor years ago, Bartons maybe?)

    Well what actually happened was I missed the bus by about 1 minute, got the train instead!
