Hi, I currently work in the Damastown Industrial Estate in the Blanch area and live in a Littlepace, however my girlfriend is going to be moving up very soon, she will be working in Monkstown village beside Dun Laoghaire! So here's my dilemma i need my car for work and my girlfriend is not confident driving in dublin, so she will have to get the train to work making one change in the city! We will need to move beside a train station, so its either going to be Clonsilla, Coolmine, Castleknock, Ashtown or Broombridge.
I think if she gets the train from Clonsilla the train won't be as jam packed as if she got it from somewhere like Ashtown or Broombridge!! Although the journey time would be shorter for her if she got it from Ashtown/Broombridge!
Also would anyone know what the drive would be like from places like Clonsilla and Ashtown in the mornings to the blanch area
I would greatly appreciate your help or any alternative suggestions!!
Thank You

Hi,
I know Ashtown and have passed by the Broombridge station many times, I'd rule that one out for your girlfriend as its horrible. Both shelters are burnt out and its a very industrial area, surrounded by big warehouses etc. As we're coming in to the winter, she'll be getting off the train in the dark and having to walk to her house, its not something I would want to do. Around six o'clock you dont worry about it because you're surrounded by other commuters but if she stays late and gets the last train home then I wouldnt recomend.
Ashtown is very nice, and there's so many apts you'd have no trouble finding somewhere to rent and the train station is right beside you. It can be packed but managable. Also, as far as I know the Bray dart from Ashtown goes directly to Dun Laoghaire.
Dont know anything else about the other areas.
