The example was given of the NX. I am more familiar with the 103 in Ashbourne-Ratoath than the NX but the principle is the same. During the peak period for a solid hour or more, in some cases Bus Éireann has lost all its services. Is there flexibility around shifting them to a different part of the day or is there not enough notice? I take it somebody will be affected but what about minimising numbers or having one during the day? On those high-frequency, really busy and well-used services, hours were lost at peak time, which affected hundreds of people. What is the decision-making around that?
