    Hey guys/gals, i am new to travelling around Ireland and was wondering if any of you could tell me whats the best way to get to Ashford in Co Wicklow before 9am on weekdays. I dont have a car so any bus info or train would help. greatly appreciate this. i checked the bus and train websites but they are not very helpful. oh I live in Dublin City centre.

    Thanks

    Bus Eireann service 133 goes from Dublin (Busáras) to Ashford, but there's no way you'll get there before 9am I'm afraid.

    Here's the timetable http://www.buseireann.ie/site/your_journey/printed_timetable_pdfs/local/133.pdf

    There's no train station in Ashford. Your best bet might be to get a train to Wicklow (see www.irishrail.ie) and a bus from there to Ashford.

    Train + bike? Bus + bike?

    The 133N will get you there about 0434. Otherwise Route 2 gets you there at 0750 - but its listed as a pick up stop only, same with route 5. :confused: Can one pay the extra fare to the first non-pick-up stop?

    Days of operation:
    runs Sa, Su
    Comments:
    Nightrider service - special fares apply. No service on Christmas

    I presume it operates very early Saturday and Sunday mornings, i.e. Friday and Saturday night.

    get the rosslare train from Pearse at 0734
    arrives in Wicklow at 0838
    then get a cab (obviously you'd want to book this in advance) - Ashford is less than 10 minutes drive.

    People can get from dublin to ashford in the morning by taking the Rosslare bus. This bus stops in ashford in non-peak hours. It will even stop in wicklow town in non-peak hours too.
