The Bus doesn't always go across the bridge.(I've not seen it do so) It turns at the lay by on the other side I believe except for early morning, four o clock and midnight. If your visit is pre-arranged, you can use the boat. If it isn't pre-arranged, the boat policeman won't let you on.
If you are deciding to take a tour, on spec, don't waste your time, there is nothing to see at the island end of the bridge, and even less on the road. The naval base proper is a good half click from the barrier at the bridge. If you are not expected you will not get beyond the barrier at the bridge. You'll see more from Cobh with a pair of Binos...
Google maps photo was taken in 2006. It's a lot less interesting now.
PM me if you want specifics.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
The bridge is missing, however, the bus routing can ignore this. The Haulbowline ferry is, for some reason, represented as a walking route from Cobh to Haulbowline. The Carrigaloe-Glenbrook ferry isn't programmed in.
A Cork(Kent) to Cobh station journey query results in trains - correct.
A Cork(Kent) to Cobh Town (not station) journey query is only returning taxis - wrong, one should be able to do train and walk.
One of the wonky returns is Cork to Rushbrooke via Ringaskiddy, where almost every possible routing of the various route 223 sub-routes has been included in one image.
In contrast, on route 222, it gets Cork-Fort Camden pretty much right, although the timetable sometimes mean you nee to use two buses.

Your fixing it? are you working on that map or something? any chance you can fit in some up to date satellite imagery too nice for aerial images!
"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
The Launch is for foot passengers only.
The bus will go across the bridge.
And as with any military installation, you won't be allowed in if you haven't organised something.
There are tours done and there is a museum but you need to organise it
There isn't any. We've been shooting down satellites here since 2005..
Since 1st October 2005, by any chance ???
"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"
Transfer to the sat map on the ais site (MT) and a nice sat image of NBAD comes up with shots of a P20,P40,P50 and the P31,welcome change from the usual angles and the P50 with P31 alongside allowa direct comparisons.
