    Those are the right timetables for Medtronic in Parkmore.

    This map shows you where Medtronic buildings are in Parkmore: http://www.galwaytransport.info/2010/02/parkmore-west-business-and-technology.html
    And this one shows you were the business park is relative to the bus stop: http://www.galwaytransport.info/2008/12/parkmore-area-see-map-at-bottom-of-this.html

    I've recently heard that Medtronic have space in Mervue industrial estate, too - the 403 is the bus which goes past that location. I don't know which building they're in, but this map shows the estate location: http://www.galwaytransport.info/2011/08/old-mervue-neighbourhood-map.html


    Be aware that trip time in morning and afternoon peaks are longer than the timetable shows.

    Medtronic bought Covidien who have a building opposite the back entrance to Thermo King on Michael Collins Rd.

    Cheers.

    OP, if this is where you're headed, bus 405 is the one to take.

    The 16.00hr bus rocked up to the Galway clinic today at 15.55 uploaded its passengers and took off again on its route at 15.57. At 16.00 at least ten workers/visitors/patients were left attaching their heads wondering where the bus was. Surely the bus driver should wait til 16.00 before taking off? Does this happen regularly all over the city. I know traffic can be heavy and drivers have deadlines but this shouldn't be used as an excuse

    Perhaps it was the 15:30 bus arriving late. Happens pretty often on my road... You think you've just missed the bus but turns out it was so late it appears to be the next one leaving early.

    Galway Clinic is a mid-point on route 410, not a terminal.

    There's no expectation that the bus will not leave from mid-point stops until the time shown on the timetable.

    I can't find where on Bus Eireann or the NTA site that it says this (except here for Eurolines services - which advises arriving at the stop 20 minutes early!) But I'm sure it does somewhere.


    Can you imagine how annoyed the passengers would be (especially at night/weekends) if at every intermediate stop, the bus sat and waited for the timetable-suggested time before leaving!

    What's the point of having a bus time table if they're not expected to use it!

    if you can't find it then it doesn't exist

    20mins early? Glad to hear bus eireann are stuck in the 19th century

    I don't think too many passengers would be annoyed with buses running on time
