AX590 (Dublin Bus)
on the first day of Route 93
Just eight days after the introduction of Route 151, Dublin Bus further strengthened its presence in the Dublin Docklands area with another new service.
Co-inciding with the opening of the new Docklands railway station, the first in the city centre area for over a hundred years, Route 93 links the station to the City Centre (Eden Quay) via the International Financial Services Centre.
AX590, based at Broadstone, is pictured at the Docklands terminus on Upper Sheriff Street on the first day of operation (Monday 9 July 2007).
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2007: Route 93 now appears to have been quietly dropped. Although it shared the same routing as
the 151, it was designed with definite departure times so that train passengers disembarking at the nearby Docklands
Railway Station would be pretty much guaranteed a bus service. However, the flat fare of €1.20 as opposed to just
€1 on the 151 - plus the fact that the 151 covers the same ground with a greater frequency - has sensibly seen
buses taken off the 93 to be put to better use elsewhere.
