Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
One of revisions due to the implementation of the E spine was the rerouting of the 11 on the northside of the city to the Phoenix Park replacing the 46A but at a much reduced frequency. This may need another look. Replacing the 11 on the northside is the 19. This is a bit of a mess as it was meant to run from the Airport to Parnell Square every 20 minutes. Residents complained about the loss of the 11 and the new terminus as not suitable, which is probably true to be fair. The revised plan sees some 19s run to Merrion Square but from St Pappins Road, the old 11 terminus. Now you have an oversupply of buses with up to six 19s in the peaks. The plan is from April/ May to run them all to Merrion Square and I guess that the frequency may be cut but to something more sensible, the 'new' 11 could benefit from some buses from its replacement.

Route 19 info at Dublin Airport 1 March 2025 - The map also illustrates an important feature of the route. It does provide a link between the Airport and the City, but it is not quick for this trip, these routes are designed to serve an area of the city and not to act as an express to the airport. The 41 is the quickest DB route, the 16 is painfully slow but serves the southside and the 19 does neither. All trips are €2. Faster options are available..
