Extra 84X from Dublin during term

Students travelling to Dublin for college will have a little extra help with commuting this year, as Dublin Bus announces an extra 84X.

Minister Simon Harris announced this week that he received confirmation from Dublin Bus that an additional 84X service will run during the academic term. The extra bus will depart from UCD at 4.45 p.m. during term time. ‘ This route is vital to people living along Southern Cross Road, Greystones, Charlesland and Kilcoole,’ said Minister Harris.

Deputy Stephen Donnelly welcomed the news and said: ‘ Today’s announcement is a positive development for Wicklow commuters, especially students. I am regularly contacted by people who use these services. Due to the high demand in the evenings, they are regularly passed by full 84x’s adding hours to their weekly commute.’ He also called for improvements to the Luas, N11 and 133.
