The service especially in standard class was overcrowded from Birmingham , and got even more so at Wolves & Stafford with the extended delay at Stafford as a result of the...

    First Bus Ireland (Aircoach/Matthews) Discussion

    Very disappointing decision , although the poor reliabillty and extended journey times of the 702 probably didnt help Even though I live near to a 702 stop , it's quicker to get the DART and Dublin Express combo , and the high frequency of DX services from Tara Street to the Airport make it a...
