    What's the best way to get from Galway to UL?

    I've looked at buseireann.ie but I'm not sure whether or not the bus from Galway passes by UL on its way into Limerick bus station. Assuming it doesn't what bus do I get from Limerick out to UL?


    Cheers!

    The bus from Galway doesn't go to UL, although it does manage to go by Shannon for some time-wasting reason (it angers me greatly).

    Most economical route for Bus Éireann (The entire route,I believe,is Galway - Shannon - Limerick - Cork, and vice-versa.) & probably one of the best routes where road conditions are concerned.
    It's a long "2hrs 15mins". pfft.
    I've seen buses departing the bus station for UL regularly - but I don't see a timetable on buseireann.ie. Ring the station or ask when you get there. Worst case scenario, you have to walk down to William St. (Outside Centra? I think it's a Centra. Just look for the biggest crowd of unhappy campers)

    The 302 or 308 goes to UL from outside the Centra shop on William St. Alternatively there's the Euro Bus which leaves from the same place. Don't think there's anything that goes directly from the bus station.

    But Bus Eireann's 15 minutes and your 15 minutes may vary greatly

    yup i had that same problem
    used to get bus eireann
    Galway station to limerick station
    walk to william street (in the dark,cold,wet with heavy bag :mad: ) then stand at the centra shop (30 mins min. :mad: ) to get the 308/302 to the university for €1.40 :mad:

    I think if you get the ?? bus ( :confused: ) it passes the university after the station if you just ask the driver in galway if they pass ul
    because there is different ones you can get (Cork, Tralee)
