Westside to Parkmore

    Hello,

    I was just wondering if anyone was doing the commute from Westside area ( Shantalla or Hospital ) to Parkmore Business Park and how long it took them.

    I know it probably varies but just roughly based on a school day and getting in for a 9.00am start or earlier if people are doing that.

    Thanks a mill,
    C :)

    About thirty minutes roughly year round. If there is a westerly wind, maybe shave a few minutes off that.

    From westside it should take you about 20 mins, maybe 30 on a bad day.
    Coming from Knocknacarra I would be 25/30 with 40/45 on a bad day.
    You need to learn all the tricks to avoid queuing in traffic at any point, its all about keeping moving.

    You should be ok after the Menlo RB as morning traffic flows in the other direction.
    After a week you'll know the traffic, just make sure to leave extra early the first few days.

    Great, thank you.

    I usually look out my window at the gridlock while heading in the opposite direction! I was starting to wonder if I would be leaving at dawn to get there!...

    Thanks :)
