How do I get to dundrum from Clongriffin

I know I have to go to Stephens green but which station is closest and how do I get to the luas stop from the train station I get off ?

You could use bus 14 which passes connolly st. and goes to Dundrum.

The Luas stops are all maked and called out.

If you are wanting to go to the town centre/shop then 2nd stop after the big suspension bridge.

Easiest way is 15 to Kildare Street and LUAS from St Stephen's Green West.

14 would take way too long from town.

I'd get the train to Pearse & then walk to Stephens Green & get the Luas. You get off at the Balally stop, if you are going to Dundrum SC. You'd walk from Pearse to Stephens Green in about 7-10 minutes.

When you exit the station, turn left onto Westland Row. At the top of the street, turn right onto Lincoln Row. Lincoln Row becomes Nassau St at the first set of traffic lights that you come to. Cross over to the other side of the road at those lights. Turn left at the next street, which is Kildare St. (Wave hello to your money as you pass by Leinster House. ) Turn right at the top of Kildare St & Stephens Green is directly in front of you. The Luas stop will be on the left, in front of the Stephens Green shopping centre. It has a big glass dome. You can't miss it.


The no 14 bus does stop beside Dundrum shopping centre. The stop is just outside Connolly, so it's dead handy. But unfortunately, the bus takes forever to get to Dundrum. It goes half away around the word and thru all of the housing estates in Churchtown, before it gets to Dundrum. Not only is the journey very long, you could be waiting forever for a bus to come at both ends. At least with the train/Luas combo, you have a better idea of knowing when they are coming. If you are doing the journey on a Sunday afternoon, when traffic is light, it could be a tolerable enough bus trip. But if its a weekday, with weekday commuter traffic, I wouldn't even consider getting the bus.

Refinement of proudDUBs suggestion would be to take a city bike from pearse street - just around corner from station - to Stephens green

Indeed. The above makes sense. You'd want to be Bussie MacBus the bus lover to want to take the around the houses 14 from the city centre to Dundrm.

Nothing at all, even in me there is a piece of me in a condensation soaked Atlantean crawling through Aungier Street, pondering should I get off at Whitefriars instead of Maceys. Jump back, 1979.
