Ya wouldn't want to be living in Applewood/Glen Ellen. That bus will take forever!!! Although not going thru the airport so might save some time.

Interesting to see there is as yet no sign of the new 33 schedule - which will in effect be a reversal of the changes made a few years ago which introduced the 33A.

The new schedule will see most or all buses running through to the city as route 33, and a more robust schedule.

There have been some fairly bad problems in Skerries with reliability over the last few years.

GNR will be delighted!

Except that the number of busses serving that area will go up to 42 per day each way from 16.
