Bus times

Hi all,

it's been so long since I have had to get the bus to the dart that I have no clue what times they leave in the morning. Is there anyone that gets them and would be able to let me know ?

7.30 7.45 8.05 i think... (the ones i know)
should be in your management pack

Bus Times leaving Charlesland prior to those above are 6.50am and 7.15am but I think there are a couple that leave even earlier than that....there is a timetable on the bus that should put you in the picture once you start getting it again!!!

and bear in mind that he tends to leave early sometimes as well...
i've seen the 8.05 bus leaving at 8 etc etc...
good ol "ivan drives the buskie"

Thanks guys.

So really as long as I am out of the house at 7:30 I should make the 7:54 dart. We only have a timetable from when it started, nearly two years ago, the management company hasn't sent any updates since then... easier to check with regular users

when oh when will normal bus service be available in Charlesland for all of us mere mortals who don't do the nine to five thing?? Anyone heard anything recently?

matt-dublin · 26-09-2006 11:37am

as far as i know there won't be...
there's a bus stop down at the roundabout which i think the 84 or the 84x goes past every now and again.
dublin bus won't do a proper service because it can't compete with theshuttle bus because its free basically (well you know what i mean)

I was mailing Dublin Bus for ages about this and kept getting false promises of 'service will start next month' etc, etc. The fobbing off was unreal. I heard in the summer from a town councillor that DB had been granted approval for setting up a service but I woudn't hold my breath. It's a disgrace that a development the size of this size has no regular bus service.

Well Joliegood - I'll mail them now myself maybe if we get enough requests in they might pay a bit more attention..

the bus for the 0754 train leaves at 0730 from down by the Crescent (used to be 0735, not sure why they moved the time back) So you'd want to be leaving your gaff at 0725. Next one is at 0750 to meet the 0805 Dart.

Bus Train
0650 0712
0715 0730
0730 0754
0750 0805
0805 0830 (nice long wait at the station for this one).

Noticed there's another bus that picks up at 7.40. Never noticed it before but it beats waiting at the station for 20 minutes watching the Diesel take forever to come into the station
