St. Stephen's Green Buses | August 2024
A video showing buses around St. Stephen's Green (Dublin city centre), recorded in August 2024.
Having previously visited Parnell Square (czcams.com/video/BektDJ8cviI/video.html) and Merrion Square (czcams.com/video/LPh6-vySVDE/video.html), it was time to visit the biggest square in Dublin. St. Stephen's Green is located on the southside of Dublin city centre, with Grafton Street, Dawson Street, Kildare Street, Merrion Row, Leeson Street, Earlsfort Terrace and Harcourt Street all feeding in to it. Prior to the arrival of the Luas in 2004, buses served all four sides of the Green. Now they are limited to the northern and eastern sides.
In terms of bus routes that pass through it, there are many. Leeson Street services connect places such as Dun Laoghaire, Bray, Sandyford, Ballymun and the Phoenix Park. Merrion Row services (which lead to Baggot Street) connect Burlington Road, UCD Belfield, Ongar, Damastown and Blanchardstown. One recent arrival to the St. Stephen's Green is route 40. Running from Charlestown and Finglas, it ceased being a cross city route in 2022 and gained Earlsfort Terrace as a new terminus. A lot of these routes operate at a high frequency.
Most of this video was recorded on a Friday evening, when the extra peak services run. These bring a mixture of buses ranging from the oldest type with the AX Class to the newest type in the form of the EW Class.
St. Stephen's Green is also served by Aircoach route 700 to and from Dublin Airport.
Some regional peak services appear in this video too. These include Go-Ahead Ireland's route 125 to Naas and Bus Eireann routes 103X and 105X to Ashbourne (and beyond). The hydrogen-powered HWD Class bus appears on one of the latter routes. The Ashbourne Connect Enviro 400MMC on the evening service to Ratoath also features in this video.
Finally, due to its location withi the city and the history that goes along with it, St. Stephen's Green is also well served by a variety of open-top tour buses.

roses are red, violets are blue, trains, trams and buses come in all sorts of hue ;) my playlist #2 is about transportaion
Brilliant video! It's actually very rare that the 72 Limerick-Athlone uses a double-decker. Usually it still uses a VB 462, as it did in your August 2022 video. You just caught it on a lucky day!
Thanks for the info!
nice video my guy
Cheers!
Brilliant service 👏
I wish I could see the back
I’m starting to miss the 2000s.
Wexford bus have ex-suirway 07-wd-2900, think its used as a ferry shuttle.
yoooo
I live in cork and this is a beautiful country, only problem is weather
Jj kavanaghs also got 2 2008 ex gatwick airport Citaros off Crawley luxury which are 08-w-7343 and 08-w-7344 for city services,(haven't seen 7344 in a while) and 2 2012 Citaros that are on local link serices, due to them being converted to school buses, meaning no bells and lot more seat capacity.
Thanks for info.
vwl325 transferred to navan
the 305 still a single decker same with 313
310
I wonder will they become decked and even will the 310 go?
That’s my dad driving that :)

Great video!

Good video!

Nice vids
Thanks
Could you please do some train videos again
ALX400's everywhere what a great sight! especially the new recent addtions!
1) Another great video Cathal, thank you! 2) Why were the 46As down there? Was it something to do with Bloom or have they to go down the Infirmary Road to turn around now? 3) I have made a faltering attempt to create a similar video in Limerick whilst there are still (barely) four classes still operating on the LCS but as I have no tripod, the results have been poor. If you had a day to spare, now would be a good time to capture our EWDs, PADs, VWDs and VWLs (hint hint!).
Thanks. 46A have been coming down to Parkgate Street to turn for a few years now, ever since the redevelopment of O'Devaney Gardens began. Slight pity there is not enough room on Parkgate Street for the buses to actually terminate. But instead they finish on Infirmary Road, come down to loop around and then park up on Infirmary Road before heading back to Dun Laoghaire. Would love to get down to Limerick to do a video but time keeps ending against me. Have a list as long as my arm of places I want to visit to around the country. 😁
I always wondered what both sides of the Red diamond was on the class 80 when i was 6
Could you do east meath buses
I do hope to visit Ashbourne, Ratoath and Dunshaughlin at some point. I am just not sure when.
Nice vids
Cheers!
A good bit different now with the S6 every 15 minutes and Dun Laoghaire roster doing the 114 with up to 50 minutes in Blackrock Station can lead to some chaos down there been through the struggles doing the S6 myself aha
Yeah, been a bit of change in last year, and potentially more to come.
Having family still living in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath where I grew up, I pass through Phibsboro enroute from Dublin Busaras on board Bus Éireann 109 on my way home from Manchester U.K. via Holyhead on SailRail (Irish Ferries) - my last visit home to Ireland was in October 2022 and I’ve noticed many changes since my last visit home in December 2019, having lived in Manchester 23 years 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️
East meath buses
You go to the strangest places to film buses, I love it. Great videos mate
Cheers!
Nice video!
Thanks!
Thanks for video. Does anyone know why there appear to no bus stops for the local bus service, route 173? Not all of us automatically know where the bus should stop. Thanks.
Am afraid I don't know. They may install some when they finish reviewing the town network and implement the D3.
Good one Cathal. I note that the Local Link operator has access to the Bus Station and that box junctions are perceived to be "street art"! Drogheda and perhaps more so Dundalk could do with some new "deckers". Now if only there was a depot that could release some I 🤔
Yeah, although I am not sure why the 163 doesn't go in either. Some of the Local Links also use Sligo bus station.
Do limerick next
Quite an interesting livery - Unfortunately nowadays the Enterprise fails quite a bit!

Hi there! Just a question, I found your user on the old ‘Enterprise Watch’ forum on Irish Railway News Tapatalk (I think)? I was wondering do you have Flickr as I looked at the thread and saw that there was a lot of links to the ‘fotopic’ website which now seems to be bust. So I was wondering, do you still have any of the photos? Also, very sorry to bother you, I was just curious.
I do have a Flickr but it is only buses: flic.kr/ps/VsThs I stopped photographing Irish trains in 2012, not long after Fotopic went offline.
@csalem Ah OK. Thank you for the info.
If not for Covid 19, they wouldn't have still been in service after 2023. 😅😅😅😅😂😂
Whens your next vid about Belfast busses they were great videos would love to see more!
Thanks. I am not sure. I had hoped to do one in December but the Translink strike prevented it.
Great vid

Nice, the 76/A also ended on that day
Thanks. The 61 also ended on the day. Was a lot of changes.
