    There is the possibility that I might have the opportunity for a new better paid job in the next couple of months.

    However it will mean that I have to commute from Cavan to Dublin. I definately do not want to get the 109 up and down every day so I was looking at the quickest ways of doing this commute and I figured that If I drive from my house to the Phoenix Park Train station it would take me an hour.

    From there I could get the bus to Baggot St. Just wondering if

    A. There are many parking spots at the train station at around 8.15am or would they all be taken early.
    B. What would be the commute time to Baggot St from the station by bus.

    Thanks

    Firstly Phoenix Park Station is now Navan Road Parkway Station.

    Why not take the train to from either M3 Parkway (changing at Clonsilla) or from Navan Road Parkway to Pearse and walk from there.

    Train timetable is here:

    Bus journey times are scheduled to vary from 30-40 minutes from Navan Road Parkway Station to Lower Baggot Street. They may take longer with the ongoing LUAS works.

    M3 is an option but the connections to Pearse for arrival in town ~9am are quite poor.
    OP would have to change at Clonsilla (~10 min wait) then change again at Connolly for a Dart (to Pearse/GCD) as the 07:45 ex Maynooth doesn't cross the river according to the timetable.

    The train leaving Navan Road Parkway at 08:22 hits Pearse at 08:46, hop onto a Dart to GCD if needed for a two minute trip. Would probably beat the bus from Navan Road Parkway but would involve walk to Baggot Street.

    Well a walk in the morning isn't a bad thing you know - it's generally recommended!!

    Thanks everybody for the replies. I had considered the train from Navan Road Parkway (Sorry didnt know that was the name of it :) )
    but I figured that a bus might be better as there would be more choice (in case the train was delayed). That is also the reason I didnt want to just drive to M3 Parkway. I would rather have bus and train options rather than just the train.
