Irish Citylink Athlone Dublin recent customer reviews
We were very happy with the experience apart from the fact that the No 721 was not shown at the bus stop making us think the taxi had dropped us at the wrong pick up link. Only by phoning customer services did we find out the 763 is actually the 721. Also the timings did not show a 12.50 coach. It was very stressful thinking we were at the wrong stop. Other than that the experience was good and very comfortable coach

The drivers sun visor is above the drivers head it runs the full length of the windshield,, because the driver sits lower than the passenger’s, the visor blocks the whole view ahead, which I find very annoying,

It has 15min delays before arrival. Extra minutes in the Dublin City. The station in athlone is poor marked with the bus number so had to ask people around!
