Plans for cycle lane to Rush & Lusk train station

Regan01

Hi, planning on moving to Lusk during the summer. I'll be commuting on the train. Looks like a fair walk to the station from the village (half hour?)... Any plans for a cycle lane to the station in the near future? The road doesn't look ideal for cyclists. Thanks

Nope
Not unless you count pie in the sky Celtic tiger plans for a new road between the 2 towns south of the station

If you do cycle, keep in the middle of the lane, so traffic has to actually overtake you instead of squeezing by

Take a commanding position on the road. Even on a My Little Pony bike you'd be fine.

it's a 20/25min walk from the Dublin Road roundabout to the train station. I do it most days.

Plenty of people cycle it, just keep your hi vis on and lights, it's not ideal but you'll be down the road in 2/3 minutes. It's getting pretty light in the mornings and evenings now too.

To be fair it didn't even have a footpath for a lot of the stretch before 2006 (or thereabouts)

Can walk it in 15/20 minutes. Cycling is even quicker. Done it for a good while in college. I wouldn't leave a good bike at the station though. I just used old bikes from home

Ah there was a path, it was just level with the road/barred by sceachs and briars and nettles from the ditch
