Sir, – On three different days this month, both myself and my friends were unable to travel by the only connecting private bus service to the Stena Line Terminal at Dublin Port as the bus failed to turn up on each of these three occasions, and also there is no indication on the bus stop at Custom House Quay that this is where you should pick this service up. Also worth noting is that the Dublin Bus number 53 also passes the Stena Line terminal but Stena Line passengers cannot use this bus as the Stena Line terminal is not a designated stop.
We had to take a taxi on each of these three occasions. Maybe I should have taken my bike and carried my three suitcases on the handlebars. Transport to Dublin Port is an embarrassment to our country and should be improved without delay. – Yours, etc,
