    Same as in the title. How can I get to Stillorgan from Blackrock? God, I've no clue, don't use Dublin Bus services at all. Yes, I looked it up online, but I found their website rather a black magic for me to use... tomorrow need to appear in Stillorgan Shopping Centre cause seems like I'm gonna work there. Don't want to miss my chance..

    Thank you for your time, guys!

    Depending on where in Blackrock you live, you can probably walk to Stillorgan SC quicker than any bus, but some bus options,
    http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/5/ travels up the Mt Merrion Avenue, then Trees Road, you can walk to shopping center in less than 5 minutes from 1st stop on Tree's Road
    Number 17
    http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/New-Route-17/ would leave you a 10minute stroll to the SC

    5 or 17 and then walk from top of Mt Merrion Ave/ Tree's Rd, or get a 46a/145

    114 to Whites cross and 46a/145

    5, 17 and 114 are not that frequent though. Depending on times it may be just quicker to walk, 25-30 mins

    Also the 46e in the morning peak from Blackrock DART station via Newtownpark Avenue, Carysfort Avenue and Stillorgan Park.

    walk up mount merrion its about a 25min walk from blackrock dart station (uphill too) otherwise get the 7 bus from blackrock up to the top of mount merrion and its just a 5 min walk from there.

    Walking from top of mount merrion: Take a left you'll see Stillorgan park hotel - cross road to the side of esso garage. You will see a curved road walk up that and voila - cant miss it big tesco sign and eddie rockets there (check up google street view). Best of luck in the job :D

    what are you on about? 7 goes nowhere near there.

    easiest way would be DART to Dun Laoghaire and then 46a or 7 to Dun Laoghaire then onto 46a.

    Actually I found out that this is only 30 minutes by walk from the place I live. So maybe finally I'll do something for my health apart from smoking.. :)

    anyways, thank you guys so, so much!

    lxflyer, 46e would be a peeerfect solution for me. But unfortunately it goes only in the morning. Uhh..

    I think i meant merrion avenue apologies but glad you live close to the place anyway!

    Likewhine, google maps says it's around 30 minutes by walk, but at some point I have a feeling it's gonna take me a little while longer... :D

    :eek:

    That's madness. huge amount of wasted time doing that. at least 10-15 mins to DL and another 25 or so on the 46a back to Stillorgan, thats assuming no waiting time at all.
