Nice to see myself at the start of your video in the hi vis! Great video btw glad you enjoyed the service! If you're ever travelling again make yourself known to us and we'll be even better ;)
@@jamesfriery The rivalry will be worth the watch. What do Glasgow folk say, the best thing about Edinburgh is the road oot. Actually, that would be a good challange video 😂
Another great video. Ireland is shaped like a saucer - the mountainous bits are around the edges for the most part. There are still beautiful sights to see in the midlands but as you say, not from the motorways. Many thanks Scott - keep 'em coming - glad you came to the Emerald Isle.
Citylink is a great service, I use it a few days a week for my work commute. They've some of the best drivers out there and on occasions I've left something on the bus they're right on the ball and have got it back to me with no delay.
T 2 is used for flights to America mostly. Reason being one does U S immigration and customs in Dublin. So you land as a domestic traveler in America . Straight out of airport after collecting baggage.
Yeah it's a godsend. I used to fly to New York and Chicago and the lines of people waiting to go through passport control at those airports was mind blowing - Going through Dublin helps you avoid all that.
Love Eireagle .. drivers are supportive if you turn up early or late and office support is also good. Always imho on time too. My only gripe is that WiFi and on bus charging cannot be relied on.
Went for the same walk with my wife a few years ago the walk along the river and down the other bank is a good way to spend a morning, I spoke to a limerick native a couple of weeks ago and she said that you survived stab city, glad I didn’t know that colloquialism before we went for our walk
I'm from Limerick, City link is so expensive compared to Dublin Coach (big green bus). €10 from Limerick to Dublin City centre or €12 to the airport via the red cow roundabout.
I think coach prices are inflated for airports. The National Express service I use to get into London always stops at Heathrow, and it's always cheaper to take the same service all the way into London and take the tube back out than it is to just get off at Heathrow.
Its about 20 years since I was in Limerick, we visited there and Galway on holiday. They were undertaking a huge civil engineering project and the B&B owner asked why we were there as no one visited Limerick who wasn't working on the project. I know it rained a lot and she said Ireland will be a great country once they finish the roof! Also used T2 at Dublin recently for a Transatlantic flight and its wierd entering what is part of US territory when you go through the US customs. US flags and photos of Biden and senior politicians staring at you. Great terminal though and very quiet.
Sorry to be pedantic but the zones after the pre-clearance areas, such as at Dublin, are not part of US territory. Even if you have passed the pre clearance checks, you're still under the jurisdiction of Irish law, until you've departed on your flight. CBP officers at Dublin can't detain a person unless they suspect them of carrying a weapon, obstructed a CBP officer in his duty, or having committed an offence under Irish law. In any such case the detainee must be handed over to the Irish authorities to be dealt with under Irish law.
@@pingu255 Yes, I remember back in the early 2000's when the US and Ireland were stuck in negotiations because the US wanted part of the airport to have the same status as embassy territory, ie to be US-owned territory so that the US Customs clearance could be operated under US law. Ireland held out for two years and wouldn't budge, and the US eventually caved. This is why US Customs in Ireland is a much more friendly process than in the US - no shackling of passengers, less invasive body searches performed under Irish law, etc.... and, as you say, the US Customs personnel cannot arrest anyone - suspect passengers must be handed over to the Irish police.
From my experience, the buses/coaches in Ireland are usually a more expensive option to the trains, however, they usually go to more places because of the somewhat cutback rail network.
@@RobbieB2024 As I said, from my experience: bus from Dublin Busaras to Wexford O’Hanrahan is €20 one way; train from Dublin Connolly to Wexford O’Hanrahan (the most expensive, fully flexible, fare, mind you) is €12.95.
Eir Eagle is just an airport bus ..it dosent stop between limerick and the airport and probably the cheapest way to get to dublin airport from limerick
@@ukcardcast6711 Impossible. The trains in Ireland are state owned. None are owned by Mr O'Hanrahan or anybody else. By the way, you used a private-owned bus service - which are notoriously more expensive than the state-owned national bus service. Hope this helps for next time.
Suggestion, never travel with Dublin coach, their busses are horrible, late, and the drivers are rude, we booked with Dublin coach for a flight, bus was 3 hours late, bus smelly and window cracked, and broke down on the motorway and we missed our flight
I'm very well familiar with Dublin Coach. I would say however for the extremely low price you pay the service is acceptable and they provide services where maybe other providers wouldn't. Where I live for example, Dublin Coach have resulted in a service which is half the price it was and with double or treble the frequency. There have been some breakdowns for sure - they tend to use buses that are second-hand with many kilometres covered but thats how they keep their costs down.
It costs nothing to subscribe! I'll be catching up with Steve Marsh this Sunday. It's always nice to catch up with someone with the same career choice as me.
Not really. The bus company just pays an annual fee that's built into the ticket price. The sticker on the bus windscreen is read by the auto-booth and the barrier lifts.
Its a bit confusing having an (Irish) Citylink bus in with the same brand and in the same livery as Scottish Citylink! If you were a bit worse for wear you could seriously start wondering which country you were in!
It’s sad how people put down a vibrant city. Clearly never visited, as irelands 3rd largest city it’s my favourite to visit for history every year from Galway
@@ericfreeman273 Limerick has the highest crime levels for sex offences and criminal damage to property, while Waterford has the worst crime rate for assaults, weapons and explosives offences. Cork is the city with the lowest crime rates, but the highest homicide rate.
Having lived in Limerick for a few years as well as mainland Europe, Canada and US, I think only a blind person would praise Irish Transport be it public or private. Also limerick is a skip, with teenagers that destroy everything, are loud and have zero respect. This city has no future, just like many other Irish cities. Countryside is quite different
@@bobsemple9341 Why would i pretend to be irish? See zero benefits of it. Face the truth, city is full of crime, downtowns is full of teens with their tracksuits tucked in the socks… I mean what is that? A rat entry prevention technique or what? All big cities have their problems but Limerick is probably the worst city I have seen, sorry to say but that’s what it is
Ireland isn’t in the UK! As it’s motorways as you can clearly see are in English and Irish, we are in the EU and you should know better than that as a visitor!

One tip, you can go through the security at terminal 2 and walk to terminal 1.. it’s much quicker.

Planes, Trains, Everything, Next time you come to Ireland how about visiting Cork, Galway or Waterford?
Hi there do you know if there is a megabus that will go to Cornwall from Stoke-on-trent. Thank for your time. Brilliant travel videos.
Well done Scott another fabulous video and you got a subscriber as well Paul

I've watched a few of your videos now, Scott, which are always a delight and so well presented and produced. Looking forward to the next one!
There was a young man called Gus. Who decided to go on the bus. He thought about planes and even trains, but decided to stay on the bus.
very nice view of Dublin ❤ Thanks for this virtual trip, I totally enjoyed sitting at my home 👏👏 I am a fan now.
Very nice sir 👍
Love the videos keep the good work up
Great video
A very informative and entertaining vlog you have here plus a good glimpse of historic Limerick in this one , it´s just the ticket (not to n`tucket!).
👍👍👍
Hi Scott I really enjoy your travels. But I wish you finished the rest of the limerick. Luv from Melbourne 😎
Those Irish City Links where a green version of the Scottish City Link livery those blue one's must be new but quite a handsome livery.
If you like your fish n chips,you need to come to Bo'ness and have a broon fish supper (not brown) from Corvis,it superb
used to be able to get rectangular fish when I was a kid. Basically, the fish was sawn up into rectangles whilst still frozen.
Limerick to Dublin by plane is very short journey compare to travelling by train and by road.
Flying from Shannon to Dublin Airport is even quicker and that's futher away
Went for the same walk with my wife a few years ago the walk along the river and down the other bank is a good way to spend a morning, I spoke to a limerick native a couple of weeks ago and she said that you survived stab city, glad I didn’t know that colloquialism before we went for our walk
It's an old term now. Limerick is an extremely safe city much more so then most Irish cities
I'm from Limerick, City link is so expensive compared to Dublin Coach (big green bus). €10 from Limerick to Dublin City centre or €12 to the airport via the red cow roundabout.
Ya but with the Green bus don't u get off at the red cow and wait for another bus..id rather pay the extra few pound and go straight to the airport
there looked to be lots of legroom on the bus, it would be useful to know how tall you are.
I think coach prices are inflated for airports. The National Express service I use to get into London always stops at Heathrow, and it's always cheaper to take the same service all the way into London and take the tube back out than it is to just get off at Heathrow.
Can you not pay for the fare to London, then get off anyway at the airport ?
Yes I have noticed that , £10 at least more expensive
@@chrisclark1761 nothing stopping you unless the driver clocked you
Why compare Ireland to the UK. We're different countries
It’s a bit pricier than the other airport coaches but skips all villages and towns , your at the airport the same time as a car really ,

Limerick to Dublin by bus 45 hours and 89 minutes
2 hours 30 mins every time we went.
No it isn't
Did the bus let passengers off at Terminal 2, or only Terminal 1?
Drop at T2 also
T 2 then it stops in the coach park for T 1. And you walk 5 minutes to T 1via as he said under the carpark.
Doesn't stop in the coach park. That's just where the buses park up for their break
The coach is either very similar or identical to that used by Megabus but the seats look a bit more comfy.
Next time pop up Roscommon...
Still got toll booths on motorways.
What were the chips like

They should have given you a refund in fairness
Did you have to pay for a new flight

That fish looked very dodgy. Likely come in a frozen block, passed through a band saw and been stamped into a square shape or fish shape. Very fishy^^

A bus is fine for shorter journeys, please don't ask me to brave one of the 6 hours plus grueling marathons though. I'd rather walk!
There’s a tollbooth in the vid.. pushing the price up by a few euro.
Not really. The bus company just pays an annual fee that's built into the ticket price. The sticker on the bus windscreen is read by the auto-booth and the barrier lifts.
Just wondering why you didn't wear your seat belt as requested by the driver? Its a legal requirement to wear it while travelling on a coach.
Don't really need to
That's a "cod portion "
