DUBLIN BUS ANNOUNCES PROPOSED NEW SCHEDULES AND ROUTES FOR DUBLIN 15
Wednesday, 05 May 2010 14:48
As you may be aware Dublin Bus has recently announced changes to the following services in the Blanchardstown area under the Network Direct Project (17a, 37, 38, 38a, 39, 39a, 70, 270 and 236) following a comprehensive re-design process. These proposals are due due to be put into practice in July following public consultation.
Services in Blanchardstown will be enhanced with the following changes:
More Frequent Services
Four core routes (37, 38, 39a, 17a) will have peak frequencies of 10 minutes or better
Improved Timetables
All timetables will be redesigned, they will be easier to understand and at consistent times past each hour so it will be easy to remember the time of your bus.
Full timetable services will now operate in Beechfield, Hazelbury, Latchford and Manorfields every day of the week.
- All services will operate to St. Stephen's Green or beyond.
- An all day high frequency connection to UCD Belfield, high frequency service from Castleknock and Carpenterstown to Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.
- A high frequency orbital service from James Connolly hospital serving Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Blanchardstown Institute Technology, Cappagh Hospital, Finglas, Dublin City University, Santry, Beaumont Hospital, Coolock and Kilbarrack (Howth Junction DART).
- The high frequency direct Route 39a to UCD Belfield replaces the current 39x.
- Route 37x is amalgamated into Route 37, operating direct to Wilton Terrace (Leeson Street)
- Route 39a is amalgamated with Route 10, offering a high frequency cross city route to Blanchardstown via Baggot Street, City Centre, Stoneybatter and Navan Road.
- Routes 70, 70a, 70b and 70x will be amalgamated into one Route 70. All departures will leave Dunboyne and serve Clonee, Littlepace and then use the N3 (by-passing Blanchardstown Centre and Village) straight to Dublin City Centre and will terminate at Wilton Terrace (Leeson Street).
More Direct Services
Faster journey times to the City Centre from Ongar, Beechfield, Hazelbury, Latchford, Manorfields, Hartstown, Huntstown, Dunboyne, Littlepace, Corduff and Mulhuddart.
Dublin Bus hope that when this new system comes into operation it will result in a simpler network that will be easier to understand. Punctuality and reliability will be greatly improved
