Transport to Dell in Cherrywood

kiwi_cas

hey,
I have an interview with Dell out in Cherrywood this Thursday. Anyone know the easiest route to get out there. I've no car so I'm relying on Dublin's "excellent" public transport:p. I really don't know that area of Dublin
I'm living in Milltown, but I know the Luas probably won't be any help, unless there's a bus that passes by Sandyford/Stillorgan?


Any ideas???

Thanks:D

"Cherrywood" is serviced by the following routes : 46C | 7 |

Luas should reach it in 3-4 years.

looks like i'm gonna have to go INTO town to get a bus back out to cherrywood..........oh god, how depressing

Actually get a 145 http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=145

OK, so you might be waiting a while... it's planned that the Luas will be extended as far as Cherrywood... How handy will that be?
Already, Cherrywood is well serviced by the M50 motorway. An evening rush-hour journey I used to do from Cherrywood to Swords in three hours five years ago takes me only one hour now. I drove there this afternoon from Swords, leaving at 2:30pm and pulling into Dell at 3:05pm. Gift!

All the same, it will be brilliant when the Luas arrives. Who'll need their car then?

I wouldn't be so sure there is a serious chance of a judical review on the public inquiry that could hold it up

Journey time to Cherrywood from St Stephen's Green is going to be upwards of 40 minutes fine if you live on the Luas but if you live northside its a fairly unsustainable commute even after the metro opens (again if we are really really lucky) in 2014 it will be ballpark 70 minutes

That assumes you can actually get on the Luas

45 goes quite close by too, just on the junction of Wyattville Rd and the N11

Number 7 bus used to leave you at the bottom of the hill, its about a 7 minute walk, but if you are going in for 9am there used (I mean circa 2001) be a free shuttle that took you from Shankill DART to Dell leaving around 8am. Think there's one going from Bray too. Its been a long time since I worked there so somebody else might be more up to date. Good luck in your interview.

That shuttle bus was still in operation from Shankhill last year anyway. There was talk of rerouting the 45 into the estate too (like the 7's already do). The 84 goes out that way as well as far as I recall.

Best bet is to get the Dart and the shuttle bus if you can.. that's how I did it, then I bought a car and used the N11 - handier again

there is feeder buses running from the dart and Luas but not sure what the times are best suggestion i can make is to contact dell and ask them.

What time is your interview at

Supercell

There is a Dell bus going from Sandyford Ind Est Luas station in the morning also, its free.
Think it leaves around 08:30 for arrival around 09:00 there, but not 100% on leaving time.

Why not email the HR department, am certain they will have this info for you?
