Connolly's Station to Leeson Street?

PictureFrame

Hi, I am attending a Revision Course in the IOE next week and am unfamiliar with Dublin to say the least! :P..

I am getting off at the Connolly and have to get to Lower Leeson Street, I am just wondering is there a LUAS to St. Stephens Green or would I be better getting off the LUAS at Pearse Street?.

Thanks a million for any replies in advance!

Dublin Bus routes 14 and 15 will take you from outside Connolly Station directly to Earlsfort Terrace at the bottom of Lower Leeson Street. Cash fare next week will be EUR 1.40.

The LUAS is not an option.

Alternatively, you could get the DART from Connolly to Pearse station then its about a 20 minute walk to Lower Lesson Street passing Merrion Square and St. Stephens Green.

Journey, no more than 10/15 mins, ask the bus driver to let you know when you're there.

Bus timetable's here -

Personally I dart to Pearse and then walk. It's about a 15 min walk I think.

Hi there, I think the DART might be the best idea! Sorry for all the Questions but would you know how much it would be to get a Return ticket on the DART?

decisions

From where to where..?

If you mean Connolly to Pearse I think its 2 something.

Sorry, yep Connolly to Pearse!

Check at the ticket office but I'm pretty sure intercity tickets to Connolly are valid also to Pearse.

decisions

And if not you could also get a 5 day ticket for that journey which works out cheaper.

Thank you! I'll get a 5 day return ticket for the DART from Connolly to Pearse thanks!

Oh and this is the easiest route to walk: Link

Out of curiosity what year are you in and what subjects are you doing in IoE..?

Just double check when purchasing your intercity ticket - it may well be valid to Pearse negating the need to buy a second ticket.

If you are going to walk it, walk it on Google Street View first - then you will know exactly where you are going!

Its what I do when Im going abroad

I did that revision course a few years ago and I walked from Connolly to the Institute every day. I can't remember how long it took me, but it definitely wasn't too bad!

Really?. It says on Google Maps its about a 35 minute walk! Would that be correct?

From Connolly to Leeson St is around 40 min walking. I walked it recently when the darts weren't running.

The easiest option is to dart to Pearse and walk the route I gave you.

Or get off at Connolly and pick up a Dublin bike in Talbot Street and drop it at Stephen's green.

I genuinely wouldn't have thought it took me that long! I walked it every morning and evening for the week in wintry conditions!!

PictureFrame

Hey, if anyone has any knowledge on the topic can you just let me know how long it takes to DART from Connolly Station to Pearse Street?.

Cheers guys!!

WindSock

Pearse is two stops from Connolly, so I would say little under 4 minutes.

spurious

5 minutes barring any unforeseen stoppages.

Thanks a million Spurious and Windstock! ..

Sorry to bother your heads, but how often does the DART line run? Is there a timetable available anywhere?

Here you go.

The second set of listings give departures station by station. If you click on Connolly, it gives inter city departures as well as the DART. Below that are timetables for just the DART. It runs very frequently during peak times and about every 15/20 mins at off peak.

If it was me, I wouldn't bother getting the Dart to go such a short distance. You could walk it in 10 mins. When you exit Connolly Station, head towards the Georges Dock LUAS stop. It is just around the corner from Connolly. (You'll see the LUAS tracks on the road as you walk, you can't miss them if you want to use them as a guide.) Turn right at the CHQ building at Georges Dock, and head towards the river. Cross over the river via the pedestrian footbridge. Walk straight up Lombard St. Cross over Pearse St, and you are on Westland Row which is the street that Pearse Station is on. It's a 10/15 minute walk tops. Then head up to Lincoln Place, Merrion Sq and Stephens Green, and you'll be in Leeson St in about 30 mins overall.
