We saw this coming. Highlights include axed routes and a few buses that now go halfway around the world. The changes come into effect from Friday 25th March 2011.

In addition to this, some buses have timetable changes. They are available here.
Jaysus, they don’t make it easy to understand the new timetables. I go to the 69n, seeing as it’s being merged with the part of the 51n that interests me.
Yon, you find two web pages:
http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/69n-Revised-Times/
and
http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/69n/
And both of them announce:
“Operative Date: 02/02/2009”.
Huh?
Slightly off-topic.
I wonder if the daytime 86 route is still running and for how long more.
This route was introduced when the Harcourt St. trainline was closed and it hits all the old stations on that line between Bray and Dublin.
Now that we have the LUAS?
