Default Dublin Bus route 27B to extend to Heuston & withdrawal of 90

Commencing on Sunday 10th July 2016 Heuston will be served by route 27B.

As well as offering another service to the city centre this service will stop at Connolly (on Amiens Street) before continuing to Fairview and beyond.

Presumably rail tickets marked city centre will be valid on this service?

Timetable here.

Addendum:
Route 90 is being withdrawn after operation on the morning of Friday 8th July 2016.

Changes on Route 27b and 90
Published on Monday, June 13, 2016

We wish to advise customers of changes to Routes 27b and 90 from Sunday 10th July 2016.

Route 27b Heuston Station to Oscar Traynor Road
Route 27b will be extended to Heuston Rail Station. A revised timetable will also come into effect on this route. Route 27b will operate every 15 minutes Monday to Friday at peak times from Heuston Rail Station and will terminate on Oscar Traynor Road, Coolock. This service will deliver a more direct, high frequency and reliable bus service with improved cross city connections. It will significantly enhance the connections to Heuston Rail Station (Phoenix Park) from North/South Quays, Bus Áras, Connolly Station/IFSC, Fairview/ Malahide Road and Beaumont Hospital. The revised service will also have more consistent frequencies throughout the day.

Route 27b will terminate on Oscar Traynor Road and will no longer operate to Harristown Depot.

Route 27b Revised Times

Route 90
Due to the improved cross city connection and frequency on Route 27b, Route 90 will be withdrawn from service on 10th July.

Customers can also get updates on Facebook, follow us on Twitter @dublinbusnews or call our customer service line on (01) 8734222, lines open from 08:30 - 18:00hrs (Monday to Saturday excluding bank holidays).

I haven't seen or used a No 90 bus in years and am surprised to learn it still exists. As for the 27B it is good to see bus services terminating at or serving rail stations - we are not good at integration in this country although the private operators seem to have copped on to the advantages with many services now serving the Red Cow Luas stop.

The 90 has operated every 15 minutes Mon-Fri only between 06:45 and 10:00 between Heuston and the IFSC.

It was cut back to a morning peak only operation after the LUAS opened.
