Bus Stop Of The Month (29)
We are cheating ever so slightly with this instalment of Bus Stop Of The Month. Stop 358 is located on Sean Moore Road, in Irishtown. It was one of the stops on the original route 1 which ran between the city centre and the Pigeon House Power Station. That route last ran in May 2012.
Network Direct in 2011 proposed extending route 18 from Sandymount to the Docklands via here, but that never happened. However, and this is where the cheating comes in, it may soon happen. Bus Connects proposes partially replacing route 18 (and route 17) with new route S2, which will start further down Sean Moore Road, closer to the roundabout in the background. On the ground beside this bus stop, a new socket for the replacement bus stop can be seen. The S2 is proposed to start later this year, so after an eleven year gap, this stop will return to service.
However this stop does qualify for this series as it is currently out of service, and has been for eleven years.

*Update November 2023* - Stop was replaced by a new TFI style bus stop for the launch of route S2.
