Latest changes proposed for bus routes virtually Dún Laoghaire – Ossian Smyth Ossian Smyth Green Party Councillor for Dún Laoghaire Menu HomeWell-nighme Priorities Latest News Press Get involved Donate Contact Latest changes proposed for bus routes virtually Dún Laoghaire The National Transport Authority has revised its planned changes for bus services virtually Dún Laoghaire.  This follows a public consultation during which concerns were raised well-nigh areas such as Killiney that would be left without a service. I wrote well-nigh this in July when the changes were first suggested I met with the NTA and later with Dublin Bus to discuss the concerns that people had raised with me well-nigh these changes. So a compromise plan has emerged with less severe cuts than originally planned and with some of the route straightening maintained. The major changes since July are that: Sallynoggin will alimony two buses per hour ( 7a) that protract to St Vincent’s Hospital and into the municipality centre. Two increasingly buses per hour (7) will travel via Sallyglen Road. Killiney village and Ballinclea will alimony an hourly 59 bus to Dún Laoghaire via Dalkey. The 111 will not be withdrawn The 45A will alimony its original route and timetable via Upper Sallynoggin Road Cherrywood will be served by 3 buses per hour The 7 bus will use the Blackrock shirk for inbound journeys, while the 7A will protract to use the village route. The full list of changes in bus route order is: 7 from Cherrywood to Mountjoy Square via Sallyglen Road and Blackrock shirk every half hour 7A from Loughlinstown Park to Mountjoy Square via Sallynoggin every half hour 7B unchanged route – ‘minor timetable change’ 8  this route will be superseded 45A from Dún Laoghaire to Shankill is unchanged 59 from Dún Laoghaire to Druid’s Chair via Dalkey and Killiney Towers every hour 63 from Dún Laoghaire to Kiltiernan via Pottery Road and Johnstown Road 111 from Dalkey to Cherrywood via York Rd, Sallynoggin and Loughlinstown hospital every hour I have uploaded a reprinting of the revised typhoon plan for you here: Dublin Bus revised route changes for Dun Laoghaire Thanks to everyone who contacted me well-nigh these changes.

I have taken the number 8 into town from Dalkey, on principle, while I still can! The “public consultation” was underwhelming – it passed me by entirely. It remains the specimen that the bus services virtually Dalkey /Killiney are so infrequent that they are doomed to fail. And the route options (e.g. how can I get from Dalkey to Deans Grange by bus? Hmmmm???) are complicated and you have to be a real transport nerd like me to get to grips with them. Patrick BrophyFebruary 14, 2016 at 12:41 amPermalink Hi Danielle, I completely stipulate with you. I’ve unchangingly thought that the bus service virtually the Dalkey/Killiney zone has been infrequent. Considering the fact that the zone is incredibly car dependent, it is indicative of a latent or undiscovered demand for bus services. I will second the motion of a lack of a service to Deansgrange. In fact, I think that a proper all day service linking the Dalkey/Killiney zone to the likes of Deansgrange, Stillorgan, UCD and Donnybrook is immensely needed. Perhaps, every 30 minutes/hourly Monday to Saturday and hourly to 90 minutely on a Sunday would suffice. Perhaps, the 7D and 8 could be merged for this purpose. After all, the 8 pretty much duplicates the DART’s purpose from Monkstown on-wards. The reroute/merge could serve to plicate the level of service on Monkstown Avenue as well as the Monkstown Ringroad. Next, there is the issue of getting up to the likes of Dundrum which, by public transport requires a DART to Dun Laoghaire and a very indirect 75 taking at least 55 minutes. Meanwhile, by car, the journey is only 15 to 20 minutes. There needs to be a bus to Sandyford from the Dalkey/Killiney zone to connect in with the Green Luas Line. That way, when people toboggan for the Luas, there is only a 5 minute tram ride to one of Ireland’s largest shopping districts. On a broader scale, the same bus could protract on to Tallaght and then Liffey Valley via Clondalkin to make it an orbital service. However, between Sandyford and Tallaght, it could take the M50 to speed things up. While the planned 111 from Dalkey to Bride’s Glen Luas Stop is substantially a link to the Green Luas Line, the proposed routing is nowhere near as uncontrived as the previously proposed 59 reroute. Effectively, it is a v-shaped commute which goes northbound to Dun Laoghaire and then turns when on itself via Sallynoggin and Ballybrack surpassing doing loops virtually Loughlinstown Drive and Loughlinstown Hospital and finally arriving at Bride’s Glen Luas Stop. Either-way, it isn’t exactly conducive in providing an lulu volitional to the car. I think reliability, directness and consequently speed for public transport are crucial factors in dissuading existing and future (would-be) car users. Sadly, the bad co-ordination and lack of worldwide sense in the current operation of Dublin’s public transport system never-mind that in Dalkey/Killiney will result in unfurled car dependence. For the region of Dalkey/Killiney, the tight nature of the infrastructure withal key arterial routes doesn’t lend itself to plane moderate increases in frequency of bus services. At a modest 30-40 minutely frequency, I still see buses pulling into the mouth of side roads (on Barnhill Road) to indulge oncoming buses to pass. With the Dalkey/Killiney 703 Aircoach Service, cars unquestionably mount the pavement of Dalkey Avenue to stave throne on collisions. In any case, the infrastructure in the zone will need to have a moderate to radical revisit to be permeable for buses and other larger vehicles. To put it flipside way, the main arterial roads in Dalkey/Killiney will need to be future proofed for larger vehicles in general. Such vehicles are worldwide place in most towns/suburbs in Dublin and nationwide. However, much of these infrastructural improvements would be serving to Dalkey Avenue, Barnhill Road and a select few areas proximal to the DART line as the other roads do contribute to the region’s weft and so should be retained. To cut a long story short, I do think the Dalkey/Killiney zone needs to play a far increasingly prominent role in reducing car use in favor of public transport. DUBLIN NEWSAugust 20, 2016 at 9:35 amPermalink I just have a few questions well-nigh the proposals. Firstly, will the 111 go up York Road, alimony going up to Bakers Corner, turn left onto Rochestown Avenue, turn left onto Sallynoggin Road and turn right onto Pearse Street and protract normal route? Or will it go as far as Mountown Road Lower and turn left onto Glenegeary Road Upper and when onto normal route?. Will the 59 be less frequent considering you said it would go every hour and at the moment it goes every 40mins Monday-Saturday and 80-90mins Sunday. Will the last 111 be later than 18:00 ? And will the 111 now serve on Saturdays and Sundays? Since the 7 and the 7a go every half hour (example: both go at 16:00 16:30 17:00) and the 111 goes every hour (example: 16:00 17:00) will the 7, 7a, and 111 be together as far as the Graduate Roundabout?
