Leixlip to Ballycoolin Industrial Estate

Varkov

Heading out to a job interview st IBM tomorrow in the Ballycoolin Industrial Estate, and as I can figure, the only way to get out there without a car is the 40d bus?

Can anyone advise where about on the bus route I should get off?

Its the 2nd one down, the IBM Sales & Support Centre Map.

Cheers in advance.

The 238 goes right into that estate and runs from the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre every 30 mins as far as i know.
If your coming from town the 39 will drop you into the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.

OR get the train from lexslip to consilla trains station jump on the 39 there to the shopping centre and then get the 238.

Or get teh train to castleknock station and walk around the corner into blanch village and catch a 38b

I think there's road works going on around Rosemount Ind. Est. at the moment, the 40D normally goes that way from town to Ballycoolin and onto Tyrrelstown. Just might want to bear that in mind, not sure if the road is actually open or if the bus would take a diversion, but allow plenty of time to get there if unfamiliar with the buses and directions.

The 40D is a good route actually and will leave you at the main entrance to Ballycoolin Ind. Est..

I work in the Ballycoolin Industrial Estate. If you know where the National Aquatic Centre is, (on Snugborough Rd), the Estate is at the very top of that road as it intersects with Ballycoolin road.

So, your best bet is to simple ask the bus driver nicely to inform you when you've arrived at the stop closest to the National Aquatic Centre.

Oh, and the sign at the entrance to the park says "IDA Business and Technology Park" which always confuses everyone as IBM advertise it as Ballycoolin Industrial Estate on their website. Just look for the park with the triple barrier system in place with speedbumps.

BTW, you can get a bus to the Blanch Centre and get a taxi at the rank there. It'll cost only a few euro and it's only a 3 min trip by car. Plus all the local taxi's know where IBM is.

Good luck in the interview, IBM are a fairly good company to work for.

The 40d is coming down through Stadium bussiness park and then continuing on normally past Rosemount buss. park and stopping outside the IDA estate.
Be warned that the 238 goes down through Ladyswell first before going to IDA estate, the 236 is the one to get, it goes from centre down Snugborogh road and in to the IDA estate. It goes every 15 minutes, where as the 238 goes strange times.
238 bad
236 good

Oh, so long as you didn't screw up the interview, they'll hire you. They are always desparate for staff there (Well in the sales & support building anyway. The sales lot are a bit more selective)

Hey, sorry for digging this up but I also need to be at IBM tomorrow and im coming from town and I have never been to Dublin West before so what bus do I need to get before I get the 238? Or should I just get the 40d straight from Parnell St?

Thanks

Hmmm, well it wont take Sherlock Holmes to work out who you are if someone from IBM reads this thread which I know they do and They'll be able to see everything you have posted for the last few years and on top of that Do they want to employ someone who more than likely will be reading and responding to posts on boards during Business hours?? hmmm

Good Luck tho

Seriously? The guy is asking for directions...

Get the 40D straight from town if you are coming from the city centre.

Pff there are at least 100 people who work out on the damastown campus who use boards from work and easily the same if not more on the snugborrough campus.

You'd drive it in 25 mins or you could get the train to castle knock station and then get the 38, instead of going in to the city centre.

I don't drive im afraid! Is the 38 near enough the station? This would suit me better as im on the dart line and could get to Connolly easily enough.

The 38 stop is close to Castleknock train station but won't get you as close as the 40d to Ballycoolin.

Nevyn

the 38 goes rigth into the damastown campus and some od them go via the ballycoolin campusit just depends which one you are traveling to.
