    Why is one bus still being run per day?

    Why isn't it on the public timetable?

    Bizzare. I did see an 86 on rtpi (phone) once, but assumed it was a database error!

    Have you asked Dublin Bus about the 86?

    I wouldn't even bother - it's an error.

    That bus does not exist.

    Closest route now in form and function to the 86, which was created in 1958 to replace the Harcourt Street to Bray railway, is the 84/a which as part of its route links Stop 5046 near Cherrywood Luas stop to Bray Station.

    That is bizarre though. The last public incarnation of the 86 was a particularly ghostly run one way from Shankill Church to Sandyford Luas on weekday mornings. This must have come from something. Anyone been interested enough to go up to Parnell Square to see? :D

    Well someone went to the bother of running timings on a route that doesn't currently exist with an entirely new middle section.

    It's still on the NTA planner so I remain curious as to why, rather than running along and minding my own business. Perhaps the route was drawn up as part of recasting some DB routes in that part of town?

    Look at the timings and you will see they are gibberish.

    There are loads of stops missing, the sectional runnings are ludicrous, there are stops duplicated.

    It is an error.

    Why it is on the planner I don't know, but it does not run!!!
