For people from Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Tyrelstown, St Margarets Rd, and Swords, it's fantastic to have that alternative, saving so much time on their journey. The buses are small but there's quite a lot of space for luggage. Prices are more expensive than Dublin Bus but are still very reasonable and you pay for the reassurance that your bus will arrive exactly at a given time at your stop which it never failed when I was using it...that's priceless when time is a crucial factor.

Certainly the transport in Dublin could be better especially i am sorry to say on the northside which does not have the benefit of the Luas and now will never seemingly have the metro but losing buses from the city just is not going to answer that problem and so few of the buses even go anywhere near my job anymore so i have no choice but to use my car. The 83 bus trip has become a bit of an around the world because recently they got rid of the number 19 bus and now the 83 has tried taking in its route too which means you are sitting on the bus while it goes up and down extra roads which were not previously on the route but at least they have free wifi on the buses so now you can spend time checking out what is going on in the rest of the world.

The station has an above ground passenger footbridge to transfer to the other side. There are ticket vending machines, a turnstile to scan your ticket and some vending machines.

The commuter trains may be showing their age, but they are still a vital part of Dublin's…read moretransportation system. In a lot of ways they are more utilitarian than their newer brethren. This stations isn't pretty, but it handles its commuter traffic very well. Unfortunately, the station is only a stone's throw from Croke Park and was clearly not built with GAA crowds in mind. Extra trains are added after games, but the station just cannot move such a tremendous number of people. The result is a dangerously dense crowd on the stairwell and the platform, with thousands of people pushing from behind. It is a wonder that the crowd doesn't surge like lemmings into the tracks.

We started in Dublin made our way to Waterford, Cork, Limerick to Galway and back to Dublin. The Butler's bus was comfortable, spacious, and provided ample seating for everyone to spread out. Our drivers name was Peadar Homan, and he was an absolute delight. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Ireland, the people, the culture, and it's architecture. He was very professional, punctual, willing to work with our special requests, and provided recommendations for the group. Often times going out of his way to help make our trip seamless and enjoyable. Our family tour of Southern Ireland was amazing and memorable.The family is in agreement that Peadar definitely added to the overall experience. Would highly recommend using Butler's tours for your travel needs and if possible requesting Peadar Homan as your driver.

The company claims to be cruise friendly…read more I notified them a day in advance that our cruise was in a storm and we would not be arriving within a reasonable time of the tour. The company refused to cancel the tour, citing their cruise policy only applies if the cruise does not disembark at all. With their refusal to cancel and no reduced fee for the tour, despite the fact it was a 3 hour tour instead of the day trip planned, going to none of the stops that were on the itinerary, I can confidently state this is not a cruise friendly company, nor a customer oriented one. Although it isn't the guides fault (or ours), our guide took us to a little town where virtually everything is closed. A reputable tour company does not do this. Everyone knows that a good tour company is one that understands a win-win is possible in these circumstances (more than one win-win option available in these circumstances), but greed took over for Butlers. Highly avoid!

Never written a negative online review about a service before, but as there can be serious…read morerepercussions for an unreliable chauffeur service such as this one, I feel obligated to share my experience with "LFL Worldwide Chauffeur Services". After seeing some positive ratings for the company online (which I can now only assume were done under questionable circumstances), I booked a chauffeur pick up from Dublin airport for an important work contact via the company's website . On the day, I get a text from the contact that there is no one there, ten minutes after designated pick up time. I call the contact number on LFL's website but there's no reply and it goes to answering machine. Call again - same thing. Third time - no one home. Interesting how a company dealing with time-sensitive appointments doesn't deem it important enough to have their phone manned. So I emailed as well. Finally, 45 minute and a few more attempts later, someone picks up. "Yeah I've just seen your email, there was a problem with our booking system and your reservation didn't come through the system properly. I don't have any car to send now. Sorry". This is despite me receiving a reservation confirmation number and being charged. After getting past the astonishment that a company that purports to be professional and reliable could just not show up and provide such an amateurish reason for it, I asked why no one had answered the phone for about 45 minutes. All the person could say was "yeah I know, sorry". They said they'll refund the booking and there's nothing else they do. I asked if they weren't embarrassed by this inadequate service, but it was clear there was no point continuing the conversation. I said I'll have to share my experience online, to a reply of pretty much "do what you need to do".
