Kildare

Agent7249

Was in kildare a few times over the past couple of months, Each time im there I always get bored, the last time in kildare town, I just got bored and headed off to newbridge, and went around tesco and dunnes doin feck all for about an hour. I go up to see my brother once every 2-3 weeks and we always seem to just do feck all. There anyone here who know of some good places to go? particularily people who know the layout of the area around kildare town and newbridge, and for fecks sake dont mention the stables/race course.

Or you could try Naas?

How far is dub time/distance wise from kildare town. btw limerick person here if you assumed I was a dub.

And where the heck is Naas

stormkeeper

You have to be joking me... You don't know where Naas is? :eek:

Right, well... Naas is the county town of Kildare, and basically, the Dublin-Kildare rout is one of the best known and most travelled routes, and thus the most profitable. The bus from Busaras leading to Kildare usually passes (as well as a few places in Dublin City) through Kill, by Johnstown, through Naas, then off to Newbridge. It also passes through Kildare town and Rathangan, to my knowledge. Not really much of a description, so maybe I should say it like this:

Naas is the next nearest town to Newbridge, them being 10 miles from each other. It's usually the town you pass through if you're on the way to Dublin if departing from Kildare.

If that doesn't help at all, I'd be willing to rephrase it, because I made a pigs ear of the explanation, lol

And where the heck is Naas

Not entirely sure but I think it's close to the Naas Dual Carriageway...

...placed on the map for foriegn people to mis-pronounce

Rephrase, actually no, specky made a good enough explanation

if you leaving kildare and are heading to dublin you will not pass through Naas, in order to go into Naas you will have to take the slip road for Naas just before the Johnstown set of traffic lights.

Oh right, my bad... I was thinking of the 126 bus which passes through Naas to get to Newbridge.

As far as I know the route goes:

Dublin - Kill - Johnstown - Naas - Newbridge - Rathangan or Kildare or perhaps both.. I never went past Newbridge

The other way round, I think would be:

Rathangan/Kildare - Newbridge - Naas - Johnstown - Kill - Dublin

I've only been from Newbridge - Naas on the bus, but I have done Naas - Dublin. I take it that since the bus that does both is the 126, the bus goes round in a looping path... I could be wrong though?

What are looking to do? Well, I don't know if this is the sort of thing you're thinking about, but there's Pockets snooker/pool hall just off the main street in Newbridge (on Cutlery Road), or the Sports Centre on the station road. And there's par 3 golf half way between Newbridge and Naas. I wouldn't be too well up on things to do in Kildare town.

By the way, the bus route is Dublin - Kill - Johnstown - Naas - Newbridge - Kildare.
The Rathangan people have their own special route.....because they really are 'special'.

Badly Drunk Boy

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the stables/race course.

ClareBear

Speaking of Kildare bus routes....where does the Maynooth bus go from in Dublin now since the Wellington Quay accident?
