    Hi, I m looking for someone to share a commute from athlone to limerick.

    Alternatively if anyone can recommend daily public transport that would drop me off and collect near UL (drop off 8.30-9.00, collect 5.30-6.00) it would be great.

    Thanks

    I did a 2 hour commute from Athlone to Ennis for two months ended up staying in digs much of the time, the journey did my block in so I gave up the job!

    Can't be done with them times. Earliest a train gets you there is 9:15 leaving a bit after 6AM; a 72 bus does the trip direct but it isn't in until almost half Ten. Getting home will see you arrive back at 7:25PM on the bus and 8:50PM on the train. Even driving, it will be 4 hours in the car a day so moving will be far easier.

    There is another route thats slighty quicker, but the road is not much better so its your choice.

    Instead of taking a right turn in Borriskane staying on the N52 and going by birr.

    go straight through the town and stay on the N65 for about 5 to 10miles and you will see an R road signposted for for Athlone. Can't remember the number of the route. But anyhoo its more straight and direct to Athlone. The downside the road is as bumpy as hell.

    Still looking at a 2 hour journey either way mate. Like the guys say, renting would be much saner

    Judging by the lack of response, he's probably still walking!
