Bus from Annacotty to UL

Magnanimous

Hey guys

Can anyone tell me if there is a regular bus service from Bloomfield, Annacotty to UL? Or from anywhere close by?

There's no regular bus eireann afaik. You may be able to get the Dublin bus as far as Spar on the Dublin Rd.

You can get Pat Curtain's €1 bus towards New Town and then walk past Synotts (sp?) bar to Annacotty, about 5-10 minute walk (or get off a little earlier at the mini roundabout before Synotts). The bus goes from UL up past the Lodge, up dublin rd, turns right at roundabout before Annacotty, then goes thru New Town, back to dublin Rd past Superquinn and on into town from there. It retraces its steps on the way back so getting from Annacotty to UL ain't as easy as getting from UL to Annacotty since you'll have to walk from the Dublin Rd.
