How long would it take to get from Ballsbridge to Neilstown in the morning?

    Was gonna link the route from Google maps but when I pasted it here, it just pasted "google.com/maps" i.e. just the general page.

    So if someone could put in the relevant placenames in the "find directions" fields on google.com/maps, or even better, travels a similar route in the morning and could tell me how long it would take, that'd be swell.

    Thanks folks,

    K.

    Walking, via the canal Distance: 13.401 km Time: 160 minutes.
    Cycling, via SCR and Ballyfermot: Distance: 14.137 km Time: 69 minutes.
    Driving, via SCR and Ballyfermot: Distance: 14.137 km Time: probably about 20-30 minutes (Christmas time special only).
    Bus, via city centre: probably about 1 hour.

    Thanks Victor. I got an estimate for the length of time it would take to drive off google maps also but reckon this would be without traffic?

    Would be interested if anyone here would know what's the traffic like on Longmile road etc that time of morning. Can't see it being done in the time googlemaps suggests or the DTO for that matter. Thanks for the link though. Will use it again.

    Thought it would be obvious; at peak time...

    Have to be in Neilstown road for 8.30.

    The best road for Neilstown (liffey Valley /Fonthill) is the N4. In the morning you will be going against traffic and have a pretty quick run from Heuston Station.

    The quays move pretty quick too. Getting to the quays/Heustion station is the problem.

    The SCR backs up quite badly at the Kilmanham end in the mornings, as does the Long Mile Road , is always very busy in all both directions, in the morning.

    20 to 30 minutes, depending on route and traffic.

    Are you traveling by car or by hover-bike?
