Posts: 592 20/04/2008 22:12:11	Tags : None Does anyone know if there are unscheduled departures for the 7B. I was waiting for a 7 last Friday morning at 7.20 heading outbound when a 7B arrived at the stop. The stop was quite busy and some passengers questioned the driver if he was a 7. He informed them he was a 7B to Shankill and wasn't serving Ballsbridge and Rock Road. I know there can be extra departures on some services, but this one seemed strange, as the first outbound 7B is not listed until 5pm. The bus had about 3 passengers on board.

Also, in the route 7 timetable, the Cherrywood journeys are denoted with the letter C (which implies that they are route 7C) but there is no indication of the existence of a route 7C on the DB web site. If the Cherrywood journeys are denoted by the number 7, DB ought to instead change them to 7A; after all, the current 7A is limited service, and Mackintosh Park can be served by other bus routes, perhaps a permanently re-routed 7B come to think of it.

There is the 0735 service in the 7 timetable that is denoted "qc" meaning "via QBC to Cherrywood" - It really should be in the 46B timetable. This may have been what you saw Pat?

Another reason I thought of was that this may have been a new driver and thought his 7.20 departure was from The City Centre instead of Shankill?

As regards the evening service, from my observations the 1700 and 1710 depatures operate to Shankill as timetabled, the 1720 to Cherrywood, the 1730 to Loughlinstown Park and the 1750 to Shankill via Pottery Road and Mackintosh Pk as timetabled.
