All the below changes have been implemented.

Changes to the following services in the Blanchardstown area are proposed under the Network Direct Project (17a, 37, 38, 38a, 39, 39a, 70, 220, 236, 238, 239 and 270 ).

These changes will deliver:

• A simpler network that is easier to understand
• More frequent service
• Meet customer demand and adjust journey patterns
• More direct services
• Improved punctuality and reliability

Through a comprehensive redesign, Dublin Bus has been able to achieve these requirements.

Please click here to view a diagram or here to see FAQ's on services in these areas.  Please note Xpresso routes are not shown on the diagram, Nitelink services remain unchanged and Routes 76/a/b, 220 and 239 will have no routing change but may have minor timetable changes.

Services in Blanchardstown will be enhanced with the following changes:

More Frequent Services
Three core routes (37, 38/a, 39a) will have a peak frequency of 10 minutes or better

Improved Timetables
All our timetables will be redesigned, they will be easier to understand and at consistent times past each hour so it will be easy to remember the time of your bus.

Meet customer demand and adjust journey patterns
Full timetable services will now operate in Beechfield, Hazelbury, Latchford and Manorfields every day of the week.

• All services will operate to St. Stephen's Green or beyond. 
• An all day high frequency connection to UCD Belfield
• An all day service from Castleknock and Carpenterstown to Blanchardstown Centre.
• A high frequency orbital service from Blanchardstown Centre serving James Connolly Hospital, Snugborough Road, Cappagh Hospital, Finglas, Dublin City University, Santry, Beaumont Hospital, Coolock and Kilbarrack (Howth Junction Rail Station).
• The high frequency direct Route 39a to UCD Belfield replaces the current 39x.
• Route 37x is amalgamated into Route 37, operating direct to Baggot Street (Grand Canal).
• Route 39a is amalgamated with Route 10, offering a high frequency cross city route from UCD Belfield to Blanchardstown via Baggot Street, City Centre, Stoneybatter and Navan Road.
• Routes 70, 70a, 70b and 70x will be amalgamated into one Route 70. All departures will leave Dunboyne and serve Clonee, Littlepace and then use the N3 (bypassing Blanchardstown Centre and Village) straight to Dublin City Centre and will terminate at Baggot Street (Grand Canal).

More Direct Services
Faster journey times to the City Centre from Ongar, Beechfield, Hazelbury, Latchford, Manorfields, Hartstown, Huntstown, Dunboyne, Littlepace, Corduff and Mulhuddart.

A simpler network that is easier to understand
While we have been able to increase the service levels to customers we have also managed to simplify the number of route variations. So from a current total of 11 route variations we will be able to offer the improved network with a total of 7 variants.

Improved punctuality and reliability
All service changes will offer improved punctuality and reliability by maximising the use of priority on QBCs, operating at even frequencies and managing our buses with the use of GPS control systems.
