It wouldn’t be an overstatement to suggest that Dublin has probably one of the worst night-time bus services in Western Europe. It is shocking that in 2010 people still can’t get home from town, using public transport, after the hours of 11:30pm on Sunday – Thursday.
However, it did come as a surprise to learn last week that a private company called Finnegan Bray have been running a “night bus” from O’Connell Street via the ‘southside’ to Bray and beyond since 1993. I managed to get their bus home from town last Thursday at the reasonable price of a fiver. Perhaps Thursday nights have been salvaged.
Oi! Finnegan! Run one out west.
Got on this one drunken dark night on O’Connell Bridge last year- ran upstairs without paying and then got dragged off. Probably for the best I didn’t end up in Bray
