Heuston to Croke Park

Michael_Dare

Coming from beyond the Pale, Dublin transport (apart from the Luas) is lost to me. Can anyone tell me the best way to get from Heuston to Croke Park (Jury's Hotel) on a weekday morning around 9 o'clock?

I'd hop on the Luas outside Heuston and get off at Abbey Street. Then get a 33 or 41 bus from across the road as far as Quinns. Then it's a 5-10 minute walk down Clonliffe Road

If it was me, I'd get a LUAS to Store St and walk up from there. It would take about 15 minutes to walk it. Otherwise if you've baggage etc, you could get off on Abbey St and get the 16, 122, 123 from O'Connell St. Otherwise you could walk down to the Irish Life Mall bus stop and get the 41.

if your not hauling too much luggage, the walk from the Abbey St stop to Croke Park is nothing major if your anyway mobile.

Thanks guys. I'll have no luggage, so as long as it's not pissing down, a 15 minute walk would be no hardship.

LUAS to Connolly Station then so.

Exit Connolly onto Amien St, head north (to your right ) and then turn left onto Portland Row (opposite funeral home). Straight through next junction onto North Circular Road and then right onto Russell Street. It will all be in front of you then.

OP, the only Luas trams that stop at Connolly Station, are the ones that terminate there too. The majority of them terminate at The Point and do not stop at Connolly Station. If the first Luas that comes is bound for Connolly, then you are all set. But odds are the first one that will come will be bound for The Point.

If it is bound for The Point, get off at Busaras. Turn right at the tram stop, then turn left onto Amiens St. Continue on up to Five Lamps & turn left at the North Circular Road/Portland Row intersection. Turn right at Gills Pub onto Russell Road. Croke Park will be on your right. You can't miss it. The hotel will be on your left, facing the media entrance for Croker. It will be a 15 mins walk tops.

Unless it is lashing rain, it is not really worth your while to get off the Luas at Abbey St, to take any one of a number of buses heading north towards Drumcondra. You will have gotten there on foot in half the time it takes for the bus to come, and then wait for the bus takes to navigate O'Connell St, Parnell Sq and Dorset St traffic. Even if you do take the bus, you'll still have a 5 min walk to get from Dorset St to Croke Park, so odds are walking is the best bet imo.

I'd get a Taxi

Your county must be rubbish at Hurling and Football.

There are thousands of people from beyond the pale whose only knowledge of Dublin is how to get from Heuston to Croker and back again.

A taxi will cost you around €4 or €5 extra and will save a lot of time and hassle.
