Had to be in the city centre for 6pm (or just after0 yesterday. Starting journey at Cornelscourt stop on the N11.
Checked the TFI App just before 5pm - E1 bus due in 12 minutes. Grand, I thought - should get me in around 6pm at the latest.
Was still showing "due in 9 minutes" when I got to the stop (7/8 minutes walk from the house) It stayed stuck at 9 minutes for ages - then disappeared. Out-of-service bus sailed by...
Another due in 7 minutes - that one disappeared too, another out-of-service bus.
Eventually got on a packed/standing room only bus at 5.30pm. It crawled along, took ages at bus stops due to crowds pushing off and on and got into town (Dawson St) at 18.22pm.
Lesson: If you have to be somewhere at a certain time - leave earlier. It's not reliable...
