Last Luas from Tallaght

karaokeman

Hi all,

As the title suggests I'm going to a party in the Abberley tomorrow night but need to get the last Luas into town and then get a nitelink home (they run until 4am).

So yeah, anyone know what time the last service leaves for the city centre?

Cheers,
Michael

Midnight according to this.

Also, the last inbound 65 bus leaves Blessington at 00:20 on Saturday nights, which should pass through Tallaght at about 00:40.

It will get into the city for about 01:15.

That's the latest public transport option.

Thanks, does this stop near the Abberley?

The nearest stop is on the Main Street - stop 4435, about a 5 minute walk away. Click on the link below for a map.


Use the Dublin Bus app or website for realtime information.

Jaysus. You'd imagine somebody would put the LUAS timetables on a website or something, and that people who wanted to know what time that last tram ran could simply Google it?

That wouldn't have told the OP that the bus offered a later option though!!

It's an unusual one as most bus routes finish at 23:30 in either direction, but the 65 operates much later!

This is why in ten years or so Ireland will be run by a brutal dictatorship, to relieve the citizenry of the tedium of finding out stuff for themselves.

Are these threads allowed? I mean when in 2014 when the NTA's journey planner website is so comprehensive, easy to use and googleable.

I often wonder how some of those who start such threads even manage to go online, switch on their computer or remember to breathe in, breathe out...

I think people are being harsh.
Firstly there is no actual timetable, merely a list of frequencies.
Starting from the Luas.ie homepage there is no obvious button from which to find the information, in fact some of the buttons which you expect to lead to the information don't. What information there is is not always clear.

Even the chart in the first reply above is poorly laid out - at first glance it appears to me that service stops at 11pm on Monday to Saturday and 10pm on Sunday. There is admittedly text in a smaller font at the top of each box which clarifies it, but this text doesn't leap out.

But all in all its shoddy enough imo, and reasonable for someone to check here.

Some people treat boards as a slower version of google at times, happens in all areas. It's amusing at times when you think that it takes more time and effort to start a new thread asking a question and clicking post than just typing into a search engine. Such is life.

While I detect an air of sarcasm, the OP may have been looking to make use of personal experience. It's one thing to look up timetables, it's another to hear advice from people who live in the area and/or have used the service at that time. For example, I know that I can get the last weekday 75 from Dun Laoghaire to the Square, and reliably intercept the last outbound 65 there, but I wouldn't want to be someone judging that connection from a timetable.

Fair enough points and, as one who gives out about IE's crap website, I would agree that the Luas site is confusing but not beyond understanding. As another poster has said the info could be found in less time than it takes to start a thread here.

All kinds of information available here.

Can't bothered with the Transport for Ireland app thing.

Exactly why this type of thread should be banned. The information sought is immediately available online

For goodness sakes, what harm does it do - would any of you been able to offer the extra information that the 65 ran almost 40 minutes later?

Looking at www.luas.ie would not have told the OP that, nor is that intuitive from the Dublin Bus website.

The problem with these threads is not whats being asked but they go off topic very quickly and the above few posters felt they had to take the time to post something that's completely irrelevant and I include myself.

Its not a big deal in general and nobody is forcing you to read the threads so why have you a problem. Resist the urge to click you mouse/pad when you are fully aware of what the threads contains.

Typical Irish people love a good moan for nothing.

Threats? I didn't read any threats? Were they deleted? Because they were threatening?

It's a bus,
It's a bus.
It has risen from the garage
And it's a bus.

Every Leap shall ping,
Every Tram confess,
That Lxflyer loves the bus.
