Bus from Heuston to Westland Row?

Fishy1

Hi,

Would any of you kind Boardsies be able to advise me? I need to get from Heuston each Saturday morning at 9.45am to Westland Row by 10.25 am. Is there a bus route that I could use direct from Heuston?


If not, if I get the Luas to near O'Connell Street, could I get a bus from there? I know that it would be walkable from O'Connell Street, but I'll be doing this every Saturday & the weather may not always be kind!

PS I'll also need to get back from Westland Row to Heuston each Sat.

Thanks in advance from a grateful culchie

I don't know about a bus from Heuston but the Luas would be a very handy option. Jump off at Abbey Street and it would take you 5 minutes max to walk over to Westmoreland Street. A bus from O'Connell Street to Westmoreland Street wouldn't be worth your while at all. Its a very short walk.

You could get the 79 or 79A bus outside the station (the stop facing Steeven's Hospital), these go along the north quays then turn on to Dame Street and terminate at Westmoreland Street.

Some variants of the 90 also follow this route but with the Network Direct plan in process I'm not sure what the current situation is with them.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Am mortified that I wrote the wrong street name - meant to say Westland Row, not Westmoreland Street.

So sorry. Any further advice gratefully accepted.

you can get the Luas from Heuston to George's Dock, cross the Liffey at the pedestrian Seán O'Casey Bridge and walk straight down Lombard St to Westland Row. Less than 10 mins walk

As someone who lives just around the corner from westland row, this is the route I take whenever coming over from Heuston.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to reply to my query. Will try the Luas to George's Dock option & see how I get on.

One last question, would this this route be considered a relatively safe one to walk?

Thanks again for all the advice.

It should be perfectly safe fishy, I've never seen anything to believe it could be to the contrary. Usually alot of people milling about that street as its v close to pearse dart, trinity college, 2 or 3 bars, ifsc, etc

Thanks so much Chops80. Will give it a try next time I'm up!

Alternatively Dublin Bus route 145 from Heuston to Nassau Street. Westland Row is around the corner.

Thaks Victor,
I really appreciate that. Good to have another option!

Does the 145 leave from where the Luas leaves Heuston, or do I need to go out to the side where the taxis wait, to find the bus stop?

KC61

It goes from right beside the LUAS stop directly in front of the station.

That's great. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
