First of all I am a wee bit worried that this will start off another %#*@+ and moan session about harristown. So i'll keep it short.
I don't know whether this was discussed previously and I am sorry if it was! I remember reading a while back about the amount of "dead mileage" being used by Dublin Bus transporting buses to and from garage to their route. Now that i think about it, this topic was rasied in the topic regarding the new depot at Grange Castle. That particular topic led me wonder with the close proximity of Harristown to Dublin Airport wouldn't it not make more sense to house the 747/748 there considering that all their journeys start and finish at the Airport. Wouldn't this cut out the necessary "dead mileage" these routes use going to and from Summerhill during the week?
Phew! (prays that the abouve question doesn't start world war flaming three!
) My second question is one which has been puzzling me for a while: If you
look at the 41X timetable, it says that the Summerhill depot operate the route but this doesnt make sense considering that Harristown operate the
730/735/745/750/755 services and S/Hill only operate the 725 service. So from a customer point of view wouldnt it make more sense to say that the 41X is
operated by Harristown? Because which garage does the the normal customer ring to complain if the bus never arrived or they had a bad experience, Harristown or
Summerhill?
Your thoughts on these two matters would be most welcome.
