DKIT Transport Queries.

I've noticed a few posts asking about how to get to DKIT so to make this a little easier for people here's a few links and information regarding various ways to get to Dundalk from various locations.

The bus also extends onto Newry and comes back through Dundalk.

Student 10 Journey - €36.00


By train:

If you're planning to commute by train to Dundalk then the train originates from Connolly Station.

If you're getting the express (Enterprise) train then the train will stop at Drogheda before going to Dundalk train station.

The non express train stops at the following stations:

Dublin Connolly Station, Howth Junction, Portmarnock, Malahide, Donabate, Rush and Lusk, Skerries, Balbriggan, Gormanstown, Laytown, Drogheda, Dundalk.

The train station in Dundalk is situated in Dundalk town and the bus station offer a town service bus which will bring you to DKIT. It costs just over a euro. If there's a few of you then a taxi up to the college is also a good idea.

Feel free to add your own if I've missed anything. Hope this helps.

Hello Helpful People! I'm surfing around the net and can't find any solid information on it, so could anyone tell me where & when to get a bus tomorrow (Friday, 17/8) from the campus to Trim/Dunshaughlin beyond 2 o'clock?

Much thanks in advance. . .
