The Fate of the Number 10 Bus

7 October, 2010
Posted in: Dublin, Ireland, Reading etc.

Since there seems to be some mild interest in the full page article in an allegedly national daily on the renaming of a local bus route in Dublin, here it is.

Looking on Twitter the other night when I should have been in bed, I see that on Thursday, September 30, Fiona McCann, Irish Times Journalist tweeted as follows:

RT @urchinette Urgently need to talk to people who regularly travel – or used to – on Number 10 bus on Dublin. Please RT, Dublin people!

Who pray is @urchinette? To be fair, she, at least, that this is something only likely to be of interest to Dubliners.

Ah well, here she is, the author of the article:

Twitter people who talked to me about the Number 10 bus – you are brilliant. The piece is in today’s Irish Times: http://bit.ly/9Dpv8O

Lads, is this journalism, really? I don’t mean to be unfair to the author and I suppose it’s a fluffy lifestyle piece that she was asked to do but still and all is it for the likes of this that I fork our my €2 (incl. VAT) of a Saturday morning?

    Um … no. But a lot of people (in South County Dublin) will read it … the 10 is an evocative bus for me as it ferried me between school and town. Actually, I feel a blog post coming on …

    QoP, I feel slightly unwell. You realise that it serves the North of the city also so the Irish Times is clearly reaching out beyond its comfort zone with this one.
