Dublin Bus routes 83 and 123 forced to divert as parked vehicles block road

A number of Dublin Bus routes are being forced to divert today due to parking issues in Crumlin.

Routes 83 and 123 are having to terminate at Cashel Road as they are unable to continue on to the end of their routes due to parked vehicles blocking the route.

The 83 usually continues to Charlestown Shopping Centre, while the 123 is unable to serve Croydon Gardens or Brian Road.

There is currently no time available for when the routes will be able to return to normal service.

Dublin Bus said: "We wish to advise customers that due to parking issues buses are terminating at Cashel Rd. from 1130hrs until further notice June 9th.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."
