Traffic management needs to be seriously looked at too - everyone knows what a nightmare the town centre can be adding anywhere up to an hour at Christmas time onto your home journey - in the mornings the Clonsilla Road and Blanchardstown Village can be a nightmare if you get a bus after 7am - a two/ two and a half hour morning commute cannot be acceptable when we live 9 miles outside the city. I think until we have an efficent and convenient public service in D15 there is no incentive for people to leave the car at home. I think the N3 is under a lot of pressure from commuters in Navan/ Kells and the Greater D 15 area - we need a train line coming from Navan with more trains and park and ride facilities along the way to get people to leave their cars at home. It's only then we will see a real improvement in our commute. lisa on "The 39 route" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/1403#post-4265 Thu, 04 Aug 2005 09:39:30 +0000 lisa 4265@http://busrage.com/forum/ ATTETNTION CB : DO YOU ACTUALLY LEAVE IN THE AREA OF BLANCH re : 239 - you seem to have forgotten to take it through lucan and liffey valley .. or do you not care about people who have to work over ther and who leave over here AND ALSO you are probably one of those people who have a two or three car house.. and or else gets taxis everywhere Anonymous on "The 39 route" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/1403#post-3989 Sat, 07 May 2005 06:16:23 +0000 Anonymous 3989@http://busrage.com/forum/ Has anyone else out there any views on the phenomenon of the bus "service" in the Ballymun Area?

The situation is going to deteriorate further when the Port Tunnel starts diverting traffic onto the M50. The backed up traffic on the Blanchardstown interchange is going to get much much worse. Then there's the Tallaght Luas to slow things up at Benburb Street, every five minutes. Added to this Ireland still has below average car ownership rates when compared with the rest of the EU (15) but above average income. So that gap will narrow and there are likely to be more cars on the road, not less.

It'll take me a while to disgest your ideas. I think that a non-stop service from the city centre to Blanchardstown 7 days a week would solve a lot of problems. Serving Blanchardstown and then non-stop into the Quays.

(Because I have to suffer them at least twice a day.) Please leave a message. Ray on "The 39 route" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/1403#post-1463 Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:39:54 +0000 Ray 1463@http://busrage.com/forum/ Alec, I don't think any of the gentlemen you mentioned have ever travelled on the 39 route or would be of any help in solving the problem. Joe Higgins TD has a problem with a service that affects people only once a week. I would prefer if he turned his attention to Dublin Bus and became active in solving this problem that affects his constituents twice a day. Just a thought, when the LUAS is opened and up and running, people along the routes will be able to use the trams instead of the buses. That means there could be more buses and drivers available for the 39 route. What do you think? Ray on "The 39 route" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/1403#post-1462 Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:33:59 +0000 Ray 1462@http://busrage.com/forum/ Yes Jacinta, I know exactly what you're saying. The buses can be full on their way to let loads of people off at the centre, or indeed at the school two stops after mine. Did you see that the 39A is going on its old route again and is'nt going into the centre any more? This saves about 10 to 15 minutes on the inward journey in the morning. This is an improvement but they really are only tinkering with the timetable rather than providing a service. We need a similar service going out of town, not just the two in the evening. It's a pity that Dublin Bus don't put on more buses that bypass Coolmine and go straight into Blanchardstown or else on the Blanchardstown bypass. If they did that they might get more people to leave their cars at home. You should really e-mail Dublin Bus directly about the Saturday service because if enough people complain something might be done. Send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:noel.dorgan@dublinbus.ie">noel.dorgan@dublinbus.ie</a> and keep reminding him until something is done.

Take for example early morning services to town. The bus is full as it comes to whitestown and doesn't stop but unloads loads of passangers at centre,so like me if u live in Whitesown u have to walk to stop after centre to get a bus. The other ironic thing i find is that they "Dublin Bus" ammended the 1st buses in the morning on a weekday but haven't changed the early Saturday bus time in over 5 years! I work in Town and start some saturdays at 7.15am, i am always late as our 1st bus isn't till 6.30am. Do you find you have the same problems?
