runswithascript · 12-02-2010 2:49pm #1

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there's a bus from Clontarf Road near the dart station that will take me to swords village, wherever Wright's is.

Thanks

No such bus route exists..go into town and catch a bus to swords from there.

You could walk along Fairview Strand, down Richmond Road and onto Drumcondra Road and get the 41 from there to Swords. It's about a 15 minute walk altogether.

Clontarf road to to Drumcondra in 15 minutes? It's 2.3km so 25-30 might be more accurate.

I don't know Swords that well but would the 43 (from Fairview to Swords Business Park) be any use to the OP?

Yep, I've done it countless times. Maybe I walk fast. Perhaps.

You walk at twice the average walking speed for men and never have to stop at traffic lights? It must be great powering past all those normal pedestrians

About as great as having an answer for everything, I presume

43 would be the job. Only about 1 an hour so you'd have to time it right, then get off in Swords village

Is it the Wright Venue you're looking for? That's not in the village, that's in Airside Retail Park. Special Wrights buses go from Dawson St to Wrights at the weekends for 10 euro return as far as I know.

Thanks for the replies.

It's been suggested to me that I'm better off getting a bus into town to catch a 41/41c on abbey street rather than risk missing the 43 and/or having to wait on it?

Or get the 104 bus from Clontarf Dart station up towards Santry and catch the Swords buses up there.

104 timetable

It can't be that difficult to judge when the 43 is going to show up!! Use the timetable on the link below - just get yourself to Fairview at the time the bus is due to leave Lower Abbey Street or just after and you won't go wrong. It will generally take about 10 minutes to get to Fairview and then about 35/40 minutes to Swords from there.
