Dublin Bus will be introducing service revisions for Routes 1,2,3 and 47 on Sunday May 13th. Full details on the service revisions can be found here.

As part of the revisions, Routes 1, 2 and 3 will be amalgamated and operate as Route 1. Route 1 will operate cross city from Santry (Shanard) to Sandymount via Swords Road (Whitehall Church), Drumcondra, Dorset Street, Parnell Square, O’Connell Street, Townsend Street, Pearse Street and Ringsend.

Sandymount and Ringsend will benefit from a 10 minute morning peak service on Route 1. This will improve the reliability of the service and help maintain even intervals between the services at all stages on its route.

Route 47 will operate a revised alignment providing improved linkages from South Dublin to the Docklands area. The service will operate from Sandyford (Belarmine) via Sandyford Industrial Estate, Stillorgan SC, UCD Belfield, St. Vincent’s Hospital, Sandymount and Ringsend to Fleet Street. Route 47 will provide improved connections to key business and leisure areas (Grand Canal Dock, Aviva Stadium, Shelbourne Park and Bord Gáis Energy Theatre). Route 47 will benefit from the consistency provided by the dedicated bus priority on Pearse Street QBC.

Customers will be notified of the changes via leaflet drop, newspaper advertisement, the Dublin Bus website and Dublin Bus’ Facebook and Twitter pages.
