    omg that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me since i moved to this place!! if there were more ppl like you i would not be in the process of tryin to find work n a new place to live in Wex!

    I do have a bike, however, shortly after spending money buying one i liked and bringing it up here, some lout took it upon themselves to dismember it "for the laugh" and i don't know who to talk to about gettin it fixed or where to bring it:confused:

    An hour should be OK. Route 151 might be best, although I don't think there will be much difference.

    If you are heading south/west, I think there is a stop at Newlands Cross that might be useful (not it is hugely dug up at the moment).

    Yep, 151 is your best bet and an hour sounds about right.

    As Victor says, not much difference with other bus routes but at least this one will take you to the area by Busaras. Some of the other routes might leave you 5-10 minutes walk away.
    The 77 as an example.
