Is there a direct bus from NUIG to GMIT ?
Or do you have to change at Eyre Square ?

The 2E goes from outside NUIG to GMIT, not all of the number 2 buses keep going after town though so check the timetable.

Bloody double-jobbing lecturers :mad:

Ah now. You could be right, but I'd still be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, I have heard of an odd Course that have dealings with both Colleges. Based in G.M.I.T. with the Qualification being awarded by NUIG or something like that, so I would imagine some time on NUIG would be a pre-requisite. Also I reckon there are a few even if a small number of "other" Students who use NUIG Library .....

Be careful with the 2E though. Get off at the stop just before the Dawn Dairies - mostly it turns right just after there and rarely it will go straight and turn at the roundabout.

Actually I am living near NUIG and studying at GMIT.
Do you really think that lecturers would get on a bus ? With that salary a stretch limo would be more the thing.:D

Bus Eireann have kindly provided a stop just after Dawn Dairies for all those of us who realise too late that the bus is now moving away from the college!:D

Indeed. (Assuming you mean the Dublin Rd campus, not Cluain Mhurie - for which the answer is "no".)

Most of the 4's that leave from Newcastle run as 4e through to Merlin Park. They go all the way down past the NUIG campus. But as with the 2's, check the timetable - and also the sign on front of the bus: sometimes the timetable shows a through routes that don't actually run in practice.

The nice thing about the 4s is that you don't have to worry about the Dawn Dairies stop.

They all cross over. The 2's and 4's go to Newcastle and the 5 from Ballybane side goes to Westside. Sure if you got into town you could easily walk ten minutes out to the college.
