    I did mail Dublin Bus last week and they came back to say that there are no plans to extend the route past the Dart Station.

    When?

    Unless you mean the Bus Eireann bus, then you need to read the whole thread.

    No, I mean Dublin Bus, I was told it got cancelled due to lack of demand.

    Is that not true?

    I think maybe you've gotten your information mixed up? I got this bus last weekend and it says nothing about it being cancelled on the dublin bus site. Where did you get this information from?

    My husband's friend. Maybe I just got confused. But I searched Dublin Bus.ie and Bus Eireann for 133N bus and they return no results. Am I doing something wrong?

    The DB service is the 84N, so that's why you got a blank on their site.

    Where do I look for 133N then? Bus Eireann doesn't have it either.

    That's the service that was cancelled!

    I think we need to clarfy now that the 84N has NOT been cancelled by Dublin Bus.

    The service that was cancelled was Bus Eireann's 133N.

    How do you all get from bray terminal to charlesland at those hours in the morning? I wouldn't be bothered with a taxi after paying nightfare. I'd just go out in greystones but even getting back to charlesland from there would be a bit of a hassle in the early hours. It would have to be a taxi again :( I shall miss my luas in Sandyford when i move but it'll be worth the sacrifice i hope :)

    Greystones to Charlesland is a perfectly doable walk :)

    the Burnaby and Beach House pubs run bus services that go back to Charlesland, or cab is about €7.

    Walking in a quiet area at night is not the most sensible thing to be doing alone... I'd happily walk it if the world was a safer place!

    you can be too paranoid though - Greystones is fairly safe place and the walk up from the village to Charlesland is along a reasonably busy road. There aren't muggers and rapists hiding in every bush....

    Right, so you think no-one ever gets raped? There are no cars along that road at night and personally I'd rather not take the chance. It happens plenty and it happens everywhere. Go to the rape crisis center if you don't believe me.

    what? no? don't be stupid.

    of course people get raped we aren't debating that fact, but if you were to think that something is going to happen to you every time you leave the house, then what's the point in living?

    If you read my post I never said every time you leave the house. I'm prefectly happy wandering about during the day. What I was saying is that I wouldn't feel safe walking for 20 minutes on quiet roads at 2 in the morning.

    And I don't think that because you happened to walk somewhere before at 4 am and nothing happens means you'll be fine doing it all the time.

    Oh sorry I forgot the "like" 4am.

    Toto, this bus has been cancelled. You'll get the details if you read through the thread. You can still get the 84N but it only goes as far as the dart station.

    Easy there, Wingding. The poster obviously didn't take any time into context in your post, but there's no need to jump down their throat either.

    Actually this was my first post in relation to the whole thing. To which he replied saying it wasn't a problem at 4am. I just wanted to point out that you can't assume that anywhere is perfectly safe. I suppose it's not AS dangerous for him, but for women, I'm just saying be careful.
