The Wexford Bus website now features the "Dublin City commuter" service which will come into effect on Monday July 13th next. This service comes
about as a recast of the existing Wexford to Dublin Airport route.To summarise * the majority - but not all Wexford to Dublin Airport services will route via
the City Centre * there will be ten daily services in each direction though a small number of journeys will not operate on Sundays. * Clockface timetable from
Dublin Airport and almost clockface from Wexford * Inbound stops will be (i) UCD (ii) National Concert Hall on request (iii)Clare St. - National Gallery (iv)
Custom House Quay (v) Northwall/O2 Arena
Outbound stops are at (i) Northwall/O2 Arena, (ii) Georges Quay, (iii) Lr Merrion St. (Irish American College), (iv) National Concert Halll - on request, (v) Montrose Hotel (UCD)
Interestingly the National Concert Hall (NCH) is only served by two inbound services in the evening and one outbound service (2230 ex Dublin Airport). Clearly this appears to be aimed at facilitating people wishing to attend events at the NCH. Tailoring the route in this sort of way is exactly the sort of innovation and flexibility needed in bus services but which is all too often sadly lacking.
Connections from the rural routes to/from the route at Wexford are reasonable to good.
(The Wexford Bus rural routes are:
* Wexford - Piercestown - Killinick - Rosslare Strand
* Wexford - Johnstown Castle - Bridgetown - Kilmore Quay (some journeys have route variation via Ballycogley)
* Wexford - Oylegate - Enniscorthy
* Wexford - Castlebridge)
There is also the Wexford Town Service.
PS: If I'm not mistaken we had a tip off about the introduction of this service in a previous post. I couldn't find it now but nonetheless want to acknowledge that.
