    Hi,

    I'll be starting a new job soon out in Central Park, Leopardstown and I'm just wondering does anyone know which would be the best way to get out there from Ringsend.

    We are very close to Grand Canal dart station.

    Not sure whether the dart, luas or bus would be the best option.

    Is stephen's green near enough to walk for the luas directly?

    Is their still shuttle buses to Central Park

    Thanks....

    Shuttle buses are still running, leeson street bridge, the burlington or donnybrook church would be handiest from ringsend.

    Luas isn't that far, 20 mins from grand canal + 25 mins on luas to sandyford + 10 mins from sandyford to CP. Hour tops I guess.

    And then when they extend the luas at the end of the year to CP you'll be closer again!!

    Shuttle bus goes from D'Olier Street at times below. Get a 2/3/50/56a/77/77a to College Street and the shuttle then.

    Are these buses free for CP staff?

    Yup, free.


    What about getting the Dart to Blackrock and getting the 2nd shuttle bus to Central Park :)

    That or get to the N11 and get main bus from there.

    Dart to blackrock then bus 114, Think its a bit more reliable since they changed the running times.
    Think the 114 is a dart feeder bus, therefore you can purchase a ticket for both dart and bus at dart station or on the bus.

    It is indeed a DART Feeder bus route.
