Reduced price for OLSC same day buses to ML Final

Post by OLSC Committee »

The OLSC will be running same day return buses to Limerick for the Magners League Final on May 28. As a gesture of thanks and in recognition of the expensive past few weeks for supporters, Leinster Rugby has agreed to subsidise seats making them just €10 per person.

The buses will depart Dublin city centre at 1pm sharp returning from Thomond Park after the game (we leave 30 minutes after the final whistle).

To book please send €10pp quoting your name and mobile number via www.paypal.com to olsc ‘at’ leinsterrugby.ie

This discounted offer is subject to availability so please book early.
Please email your feedback/suggestions/comments to olsc 'at' leinsterrugby.ie as we may miss it on the forum

Great stuff - well done OLSC as I suspect the discount came about from your input.

Yes, you will, but having day jobs and having to line up extra buses and the people to man them may mean it's not instantaneous :wink:

Panic not though.

We tried booking some seat at about 18.00 yesterday but were emailled to say the 6th bus was full and we'd have to make other arrangements.

Yep just got the e mail , thats really tough , used them before never had a problem ,don't know what to do now ?.
Dear Leinster Supporter,

Thank you for booking on the OLSC buses to Limerick.

Unfortunately, we have reached maximum capacity with six buses already full. Due to manpower and parking issues we are currently unable to add additional buses. We have retained your details so that if the situation changes we can advise you of any added services. In the interim we will be refunding you today. Should we able to take you to Limerick you can reinstruct payment.

An alternative option may be http://www.buseireann.ie Do aircoach or city bus do the route?


Kind regards,


The OLSC Team

Not sure but it's a pain.

I wonder what are the chances of them adding another bus or two?

J. J. Kavanagh's sometimes do coaches for away Leinster games, but maybe only from Kilkenny. You could contact them and see if they'll do you a deal if you can guarantee numbers, or something. They're usually very good to deal with.

I'm getting train down and back, as I've a match that morning so train is handiest.

The OLSC normally use JJ Kavanagh buses - its the first time the club has ever had to turn people away but the issues are outside its control.

http://www.buseireann.ie do a same day service for €20 (you'd just have to make your way to/from where ever they drop you off in Limerick). As its a scheduled service no mimimum numbers are needed.
