    Hey there. I was just wondering if anybody could tell me what time the 84x leaving newtown at 7.45am would get me into stephen's green at? And at what time that bus passes through Charlesland? I'm looking to get in for 9.15am. Any assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    don't know if this is much help to you but, i get whatever 84x passes the southern cross in bray at 7:40/45 and i get into leeson street at 8:30 so it's a journey time of 45 minutes from bray to stephen's green add another 15 say from charlesland.

    i know it's not a definitive answer but it would definitely imo get you for 9:15am

    One passes through Charlesland just before 7:45 (or sometimes a little after) and that hits the Green at 9:00am usually.

    Hi Bozzer, the 84x that leaves Newtown does not go into Greystones. It goes from Newtown, into Kilpedder and then from there straight up the N11. You need to get the 84x that comes from Newcastle or Kilcoole.

    Ive been driving the 745 from Kilcoole all week, in town around 910. I can get to Charlesland in 7/8 mins.

    SickCert, can you tell me if the 84x is now stopping at Lidl in Blacklion? there's a new sticker on the bus stop on Stephens Green which lists it as a stop, but some of the drivers aren't stopping there. sent an email to Dublin Bus but no reply yet

    Yes, new stops in Kilcoole, Eden gate, Park and Ride, Lidl and top of Windgates.

    20 regulars lads know BUT new blood does venture onto the road. No info in the garage about it either.

    thanks SickCert, I had one guy get really narky with me last week and pretty much accuse me of lying about it saying Lidl on the new timetable. You'd think they'd communicate the changes to the drivers a bit better!

    A word to DB on 7034434 may help.

    Dont blame the newbie, they are told one thing by the trainers (2006/12 manual!!) Then all changes in 2007.
