Commuting to Parkwest from City Center

Brimmy · 28-05-2009 5:19pm #1

Just wondering if anyone could tell me which is the quickest commute from the city centre to Parkwest as I have to be out there for early tomorrow morning.

Would I be better getting the luas, the private bus from the Quays or Dublin bus?

Leaning towards the private bus as it goes direct, can anyone tell me how long the average journey is?

Thanks in advance

prob private bus, depending on exactly where in parkwest it's quite the trek from the luas stop..

if it is early, early eg before 8, you'll fly out

Yeah have to be out for 9. Only ever gone that way once in the middle of the day on a Friday so wasn't too sure if it'll take that same time.

Don't suppose you know where the private bus drops you off in the campus do you? Had a look on the site but it just says ParkWest..

e: Looked at the site again and it says the Plaza. Assuming that's the Hotel up near the apartments in the northwest corner of this map? http://www.parkwest.ie/location.html

the plaza is where the shops and gym is , basically most of the offices are on the left and those blue and green buildings on the right are around the 'plaza'. 9 isn't a great time as it gets pretty busy around there from 8.30 on or so but I presume the private bus is scheduled to get people there for work so you should be grand..

Cheers you've been a great help. I'll try get the bus from the quays for about 7.45 so.

Thanks again

You could end up very disappointed if you're trying to get the private bus

Haha hence the "about"

7.30 it is then. I assume the 8 would get me in for 9 but best to play it safe.

Do I get it from directly outside the USIT building does anyone know?

And I realize everyone is probably in bed who has work tomorrow...balls. I'll just walk up and down the quays till I see it in the morning so
