Proposed Extension

Route 7 CurrentRoute 7 currently operates three buses per hour from Loughlinstown Park (with the exception of a ten minute service from 08.00 hrs to 08.30hrs) and an hourly service from Cherrywood Business Park to Mountjoy Square via Pearse Park Sallynoggin and Blackrock Village to Mountjoy Square.

Proposed Route 7The Route 7 proposal is to operate a 15 minute service along the main Route 7 alignment all day with the service split evenly between Loughlinstown Park (a bus every 30 minutes) and Brides Glen Luas Station Cherrywood (a bus every 30 minutes).

The service will be re-aligned in the Sallynoggin area and instead of operating via Pearse Park, the service will use the more direct Sallyglen Road. New bus stops along Sallyglen Road will be provided and there is good pedestrian access to these stops from both sides of Sallyglen Road. This change will benefit customers all along the route by being faster, more direct and customer travel times will be reduced.

Route 7 will also be re-aligned in Blackrock Village on journeys travelling towards the city centre. City centre bound services will remain on the Blackrock bypass. One new bus stop is proposed on the by-pass and the route will continue to serve the existing bus stop at Frascati Centre. The benefit of this change is a significant reduction in customer travel times.

Proposal 2 Route 7b

Route 7b Current Route 7b operates five departures from Shankill Church to Mountjoy Square in the morning peak via Ballybrack Village, Rochestown Ave, Abbey Road, Stillor¬gan and terminating at Mountjoy Square. There are also four return jour¬neys in the evening peak from Mountjoy Square to Shankill Church.

Proposed Route 7b It is proposed to retain the current morning and evening peak service with some slight timetable adjustments.

Proposed New Time Table for Route 7b

Route 7d Current Route 7d operates two morning departures from Dalkey via Sandycove, Glenageary Rd, Bakers Corner, Deans Grange Cross and Stillorgan to Mountjoy Square.

Proposed route 7d It is proposed to keep the 7d on its current inbound alignment as far as Bakers Corner, but will in future turn right onto Abbey Road (the 7b route) and serve Strad¬brook Hill, Monkstown Ring Road, Stillorgan Road to City Centre terminating at Mountjoy Square.

Proposal 5 Route 59Proposal 4 Route 45a

Route 45a current Route 45a currently operates a thirty minute service from Kilmacanogue to Dun Laoghaire via Ballybrack Village, Sallynoggin Road.

Proposed route 45aIt is proposed to retain the current timetable on Route 45a. However an alignment change is proposed in the Rochestown Ave/Sallynoggin area. The proposed route will operate as it currently does to the Graduate Pub, will then serve a section of Rochestown Ave and will serve Rochestown Park, Pearse Villas and Sallynoggin Road where it returns to its current alignment. This change will maintain a direct link in the Sallynoggin / Pearse Villas area to Dun Laoghaire Dart Station.

Route 59 currentRoute 59 currently operates a 40 minute service from Dun Laoghaire to Mackintosh Park via Dalkey and Killiney.

Proposed route 59It is proposed to operate a consistent thirty minute service in both directions on the 59 route from Dun Laoghaire to Loughlinstown Hospital via Dalkey, Killiney Road, Ballinclea Road, Cluny Grove, Avondale Road, Churchview Road, Wyattville Road , terminating at opposite Loughlinstown Hospital. The benefits of this change include a direct link between Dun Laoghaire and Loughlinstown Hospital, a faster and more direct route and a frequent and very easy to understand timetable. As a result of this change, Route 111 will be cancelled.

Proposal 6 Route 63 Summary

Route 63 currentRoute 63 currently operates a thirty minute service from Kilternan to Dun Laoghaire via Ballyogan, Foxrock, Clonkeen Road, Deansgrange, Monkstown Farm and Dun Laoghaire.

Proposed Route 63 It is proposed to retain the current Route 63 timetable which is frequent and simple to read. The route will largely remain as it is except that instead of operating along Clonkeen Road, the route will instead serve Cabinteely, Johnstown Road, Pottery Road, Mackintosh Park and back onto its route at Abbey Road. It will continue to serve Monkstown Farm and terminate in Dun Laoghaire.

Route 8The customer carryings on route 8 are insufficient for the service to be main-tained in its current format. The increased frequency on Route 59 will offer alternative travel options as does the existing Route 7d departure. A departure at 8:00 from Dalkey providing a link to Monkstown will be operated during school terms. As a result, Route 8 will be cancelled.

SummaryChanges in roads, infrastructure and customers travelling requirements has resulted in Dublin Bus and the NTA being able to put together a proposal to revised bus routes and bus timetables in the Dun Laoghaire, Sallynoggin and Loughlinstown area. The main changes will be as follows
