    HI

    I am moving to castleknock next weekend. Will be staying on Talbot Ct/Navan rd area beside the canal.

    What is the easiest way to get to camden st/bride st area(behind St Pats Cathedral). I was considering the dart as there is a station close by(castleknock) but I would have to get out at tara and its still a good treck to work so I think bus would be my best option.

    Any help appreciated,

    37, 39, 39a, 70 to Inns Quay and get off by the Four Courts and walk from there to Bride Street would be fastest.

    Otherwise switch to an 83 there which will take you directly to Camden Street.

    A third option is to stay on until College Street, walk back to D'Olier Street an take any of a 9, 16, 83 or 122.

    You could get any of 37s, 38 or 39 from Castleknock and walk the 10 minutes from St Stephen's Green or you could get off around O'Connell Street and get a 9, 16, 83 or 122 up to Redmond's Hill, which is the stop for Wexford Street, Kevin St and Bride St or a 150 at Fleet Street or a 27, 50, 77A or 151 at College Green, all of which go up Bride St.

    Probably quicker and less hassle to go with the train to Connolly St or Tara St and get a 27 or 151 from Georges Quay or Hawkins Street

    Trying to stick with one form of transport as jobbridging and cant afford to be getting two weekly tickets so I think the bus would be my best option. Where on St Stephens green do the above buses stop? Am I right in thinking its beside the Shelbourne at the back of government buildings??

    Cheers

    The 37, 39/a and 70 stop on Kildare Street southbound and Dawson Street (Trinity end) northbound.

    Heading north they also serve Suffolk Street, Aston Quay, Wood Quay, Merchants Quay and Ushers Quay.

    They stop at Loreto College; it's the side opposite the College of Surgeons or you can get off at Kildare St. at the Dail, yep.

    If you are doing this trip daily, get yourself a Travel 90 pass at Eu 21.50 or a Shorthop which covers train and bus; it's Eu 135 a month and Eu 1350 annual. The bus only pass is Eu 105 monthly and 1050 annual. Incidentally, the city centre only bus trips from the train would be covered under the shoppers fare, which is just 50 cent with a leap card or 60 cent cash :)

    Just a note, the walk up from Inns Quay will take a wee while as it's uphill and you have 3 busy roads to cross; it's not quite a hop skip and jump.

    Thanks for that. As I am interning I cant afford a monthly/annual ticket as basically live week to week on the jobbridge allowance. The travel90 pass looks like the best option.

    As for the walk from Inns Quay its not really an issue as I am 6'4 and in the words of Patrick Kavanagh I have the stride of Apollo so I will be up there in no time ha ha:D

    Well then you should be a real man and cycle so :D

    It is 11km, so at an average cycling speed it would take 44 minutes. However if you a big fit lad, you would easily do it in 30 minutes. Over half the time the bus would take, good exercise and no cost.

    They don't serve St Stephen's Green East as suggested above but serve Merrion Row.

    Apollo knows no boundaries. Would be like that scene in Ferris Beuller where he just shortcuts it over fences and through back yards!!

    But for health and safety reasons i shall stick with the bus for now!!

    Aprecaite the replies folks

    Not much of a man after all so are we, more of a big girls blouse :P

    I cycle every day and yes I even cycle in the scary rain!!! Just need the right rain gear.

    Our you could cycle on the majority of days that are dry and take the bus when raining.

    According to the stats you will only get caught in rain 1.5 days per month while cycling at peak time in Dublin. It really doesn't rain that much.

    You can buy a bike for as little as €50, or the equivalent of 24 days of T90 tickets.

    Just giving it as an option.

    What I wear to work is none of your business:D

    I will have a look at cheap bikes as I guess it would be good to have the option for the sunnier mornings esp cycling through the park!

    Out of interest which of the aformentioned buses goes from Castlknock rail station to the quays as it is only a five min walk along the canal from new apt to station for me and would suit me better.

    and lastly how long does the journey take into town (quays)

    thanks again

    The 37. Probably looking at 45 minutes or so.
