Best route Charlestown to Swords Business Campus

Muahahaha · 30-10-2013 4:36am #1

I'm just trying to figure out the best wayto get from Charlestown Shopping Center to Swords Business Campus? Is taking the 140 to town and then 41c out there the only way? They don't seem all that far apart in distance but any route I look at seems to take at least 1 hour and 15 or over

It is a difficult one. You could get any 40 or 140 to Glasnevin / Whitworth Road and then a 33 or any 41 to Swords. Alternatively a 17a from Finglas Village to Santry and then a 33 or and 41 to Swords. The 41a or 41c are best

Put your exact locations and relevant dates and times into www.a-b.ie and tweak the settings.

Swords Business Campus is on Balheary Road.

It might be a bit difficult to get a 41a Victor - it only operates in one direction - inbound in the morning peak!!

Another option is to take the 9 to Ballymun Road and walk down either Collins Avenue or Griffith Avenue to the Swords Road. It's about a 10 minute walk.

From there you can thanks a connecting bus to Swords.

83 or 9 to Glasnevin Avenue, 17A from there to Malahide Rd then 43? You'd have to time it well though.

41 and 41B would be quicker than the 41C

Beware that Swords Business Campus is not the same as Swords Business Park.

The 41c is the only Dublin Bus route that passes directly outside Swords Business Campus on Balheary Road.

The 41 and 41b will leave the OP at Swords Village over 1km away.

Well lets get the obligatory "buy a bike" post out of the way. It would only take about half an hour to cycle. However if cycling isn't your bag you could also try a combination of the 83/27b/41c. ie get the 83 from Charlestown to Harristown , then the 27b from the garage to Swords Rd and then the 41c to Swords. Buy a rambler ticket to make it cheaper and use the rtpi app and you should be fine..

Dublin Bus generally don't accommodate people travelling to anywhere apart from An Lár too well. My advice would be get a car.

If this is a once off journey, a taxi the whole way would be about €20-22. An alternative would be to take a taxi to Santry or whitehall and get the bus from there

Thanks for the replies. It's not a one off journey, it's a friend who is staying with me while the get settled in Dublin. He had hoped to move in with me but now he's found this job in Swords and getting there from my place is so awkward I think he'll jus find a place in Swords instead. But he's gotta do the bus thing until he does. Cycling isn't really an option as 30 mins is at the point where your chances of getting drenched go up a fair bit over a 10 or 15 minute cycle.

Anyway thanks for the info, he had been doing a 140 and 41c combination but I'll let him know about the 9 and then a walk to the Swords Road, it should work out a little quicker.
