    Its a fubbing nightmare. I take it to get from UCD to Monkstown and there is now no longer any viable bus route to my destination. The locals there are up in arms and frankly I don't blame them. It is a huge reduction in service and a nightmare to deal with.

    get it to farm roundabout and 10 mins walk to the other end of the farm
    or
    walk down to rock road (10 mins) and get 7
    or
    63 to Foxrock and then choice of 46a or 145 to Dunnes Cornelscourt and 145

    Judging by yesterday the bus no longer turns left at Bakers Corner but continues on down to Dun Laoghaire. The website suggests a destination a mile away or so to catch the 63. Ten minutes is fine in summer but much more difficult in winter and will cause those who are not able bodied a lot of difficulty.

    Are you 'a' Cookie Monster, or 'the' Cookie Monster of old?

    correct

    there were always going to be those who lost out by this, but for the vast majority of customers its a big improvement. Stillorgan village is also bypassed.

    The 4 has been extended down to near the farm, check it out, it may suit you to walk from UCD to 4 rather than the walk at the end.

    likely a OOS bus with the display still active or a relief bus running with the number so people recognise it

    Thank god it won't serve Stillorgan and the farm from now on.

    They should have done this years ago, makes so much more sense.

    had to get that everyday to ucd, absolutely horrible journey, cutting out the farm and stillorgan is great news. Does anybody think this "upgrade" in service is because of the ongoing development of dun laoghaire golf club, in a couple of years the roads around this area are going to be a nightmare.They are already extremely busy and with the new population in the coming years it will be made worse, intersting to see how the infrastructure will cope

    no, its due to Network Direct being implemented citywide by Dublin Bus, this is just stage one. Affects N11, Lucan and Blanch iirc. see their website for more info
