145 Bus Service from Heuston Station

[Thomas Ralph]

Why doesn't the dispatcher at Heuston hold the buses until there's a decent number of people on them?

The 145 is meant to run a fixed high frequency at peak times so there should never be a need to hold a bus.

If you hold a bus it opens up a gap for everyone else, and of course drives those already on the bus mad.

One wonders who there are providing the service for, is it for rail passengers or who ?.

best of luck trying to get a straight answr from beardy

Buses are meant to go every 10 min as per time table but he makes it up as he goes along and sends them when he feels like it full or empty.

His worst habit is randomly deciding that "This bus only goes as far as Leeson St" or "This bus only goes as far as Belfield".

As far as I can see, there are no buses on the timetable that only go that far.

The Belfield one doesn't really affect me, but I do occasionally use it to get to Donnybrook, so find the Leeson St one annoying. At least I never have reason to travel south of Belfield.

You can always go around to St Johns Road at the side of Heuston. MAny more buses go this way. At rush hour you can get an Xpresso that goes as far as Belfield.
