    I dont use the service yet but am considering buying a 1700 euro season ticket.

    Could regular users of the service (Grange Rath - IFSC) let me know at what time does the 7.30 am bus usually arrive in Connolly Station? Is the timetable larelgy accurate or is it very traffic dependent?

    thanks

    I haven't used Matthews Coaches myself, but I heard a lot positive comments about them . I would recommend you try them out at least for a month before committing on an annual ticket.

    That service doesn't go near the ifsc unless its changed recently, it stops on parnell street after coming along the airport road route.

    I get the Dundalk-Dublin service twice every week and it is usually fantastic. Great value for money, comfortable coaches, and I've never seen one to be late. During the snow, journey times were doubled but that's understandable.

    I'm not sure about the GR-IFSC route, but I've heard good things about the Dundalk-IFSC route. They don't go that often though, so it might be hard to find a time that suits.

    Service is good but the traffic on the M1 this past few weeks has been enough to put me off using it till the roadworks are complete.
    Fare prices are okay (not that reasonable)
    I like the handiness of using a 10trip ticket whenever you wish.

    There's a service in the morning and evening to/from the IFSC from Dundalk and Grange Rath on top of their regular Parnell St. service.


    I think the one from Grange Rath is about 5-10 minutes behind the Dundalk one so it should reach the IFSC by about 8.45 on a monday and anywhere between 8.30 and 8.40 during the rest of the week.

    They certainly have a service to IFSC. :rolleyes: And it runs very much to time most of the time.

    I get the GR-IFSC bus (pick it up at Julianstown) on a regular basis.

    Usually gets to Amiens St between 8.40 and 8.50am, even with the bottleneck on the M1 at Lissenhall. The time that the bus loses there is made up by using the Tunnel.

    Today, for example, it arrived in Amiens St about 8.45am.
