Dublin to Westport by public transport

sligotrain

So what are the options to Westport from Dublin by public transport?

Cost, time and comfort options would be appreciated. Midweek travel out, with a return on a Friday afternoon. Will need to write up a presentation on the way back and could do with a beautiful toasted roll as I'll need a feed.

Otherwise, by bus, it's a matter of changing buses at Galway or Athlone.

You have to go all the way to Dublin to change to the sligo train so westport-sligo by train = 6 hours +

you could cycle it in less

The train is possibly the best option for this journey unless you were travelling with at least one other person which makes driving a lot cheaper.

The bus is a lot cheaper but you may not be able to work on board and those with continence issues may require the assurance of having a toilet available throughout the journey.

If you are hungry or think you might be hungry I would suggest bringing some sandwiches or filled rolls as what is available on the train is absolute muck.
