    Help!!!
    I'm starting a new job in the Central Park area of Leopardstown and just wondering what's the quickest way to get there from Kimmage (KCR area)?

    The problem is I don't drive so would be relying on public transport I know I could get a bus to Rathmines / Ranelagh and get the luas from there but is there a way I could get there more directly?

    Also there will be some mornings I need to be in Central Park for 7:15a.m - more problems!!

    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions they would be most welcome!

    Thanks so much!!

    Best option that I can think of is that if you live along Kimmage Road West, get the 17 from there to Dundrum Luas Station. That bus goes from Rialto to Blackrock DART Station. Go on the bus in the direction of Blackrock. Get off at the nearest stop at Taney Road in Dundrum.

    Cross the road at the Dargan LUAS Bridge. The LUAS entrance is beside the 14 and 161 bus terminus.

    And then get the Bride's Glen LUAS from Dundrum to Central Park.


    I hope that will help you!

    I found that the 17 for you is for later mornings. Here is the timetable for the 17 here.

    Here is a map of the route

    For your earlier mornings before 7:15am though, the other options there I think is to carpool with a friend of yours from your house to Central Park.

    Or get a Taxi!

    Some options there.
