    I know City Link do this journey but I kinda want a bus in between 5.45pm and 7.45 pm.

    I saw in Bus Eireann bus stop last week that they are *finally* doing a direct service also but I need a time table of the times and typically enough, they don't have it on their website and they won't answer the bleedin' phone! :mad:

    Does anyone know the times maybe having used the route before?!

    Nope smarty - pants! :D

    With that journey, you change in Limerick to bus no. 51 and that bus brings you through Ennis and all of that. That bus is 2 hrs 20.

    The one I'm looking for would be cutting out Ennis altogether and would only be 1 hrs 30.

    I appreciate your 20 seconds of effort though! :D

    Perhaps you'd be more comfortable on this mode of transport?

    - Less chance of people looking at you, licking their lips and then ripping open your *ahem* - wrapper!!!!

    AFAIK they go at the same time (20 past the hour).

    You just need to make sure you are on the right one.

    Unfortunately for my missus, she got on the wrong one today.

    The direct one went from the Cork stop

    Oh nasty!

    I think Bus Eireanns direct is not going to Shannon though.

    I had quite a bit of time waiting for the City Link bus so I went over to the bus station and it appears they are only doing two proper (i.e, no Ennis) direct runs, 9.15am and 12.15 pm.

    Anywho, got City Link, they are now a Euro dearer.
