The National Transport Authority announced the final proposals for redesign of the Dublin Bus networks on Thursday 25th September 2020. These were well covered in the media and full details and maps are available on the link https://busconnects.ie/initiatives/new-dublin-area-bus-network or by googling “ New Dublin Area Bus Network”
We set out below details of the revised network for the Terenure area and a copy of the relevant maps (these can also be downloaded). The proposals are the same as issued about a year ago for consultation but with a few changes. There will be a replacement service for the 15A (New route 81) and the proposed route A4 has been extended from Nutgrove to Dundrum Luas. Although we requested it in our submission, there will be no service on Bushy Park Road. There will no longer be through services beyond Tallaght and a change there is require to get to Blessington or City West.
Terenure will be served by the A spine of the new network with all four services, A1, A2. A3 and, A4, having the same route from Collins Ave./Swords Road junction to Terenure Cross. They diverge at these points. The spine route is Drumcondra, O’Connell St., Georges St., Rathmines and Rathgar.
