    There has been a bus breakdown at Leeson Street / St. Stephen's Green with two other buses behind it, stuck. Avoid at all costs.

    just caught in it myself seems to have cleared the broken down bus now

    Such a waste of resources too I counted at least 6 guards.

    Gosh....I wonder if anybody from Deloitte & Touchè were on site to assess and make recommendations on sustainable and strategic methods of dealing with the totally predicteble consequences of placing dozens of eggs in a single basket and then throwing it up in the air ;)

    What we DO know is that the (dis) interested administrators and transport "Chief`s" intend to force even more and larger vehicles through this "Corridor"... :o

    Just U wait till Aircoach`s new 14m long coaches decides to sit-down in the same location some evenin.....I can imagine the Minister`s reaction...."Holy Jaysuzz Julia,who gave permission for THAT" :)

    A BMW 7 serious weighs about 2 tonnes, A Bus weighs about 15 Tonnes, So the answer to your question is maybe, if you had enough people to push it I suppose, Not many good samarathans left in Dublin Im afraid especially at rush hour, I suppose we could have sent down a few guards to do the job, but thats just gonna be a waste of resources.
