Dunboyne train station

BGozIE

Hi All,

Sorry, I cant find a recent thread on this, but is parking hard to get at dunboyne train station at around 8.25? Hoping to get the 8.38am train to docklands.

Is parking paid at dunboyne? Would I be better going to M3 parkway or Hansfield?

Cheers!

You have a huge car park at the parkway.

Yeah thats right, just dont want to drive the extra 5 mins :P or pay the extra fair if there is no point.

If anyone had any idea on how quickly the dunboyne car park fill or if its full by 8.20am that would be great.

I get the 8.13am train daily from Dunboyne.

Free parking (local Councillor lobbied for it last year and got the fees removed) and you will definitely get a space...

Excellent, thanks for the info!

I wonder does anybody even use the M3 parway so....

I know people from Navan, Ashbourne and Ratoath who drive to it then leave the car and get the train in. Most people would be commuters from East Meath. The line was supposed to run to Navan under Transport21 before the budget was pulled.

Hewlett Packard run (or used to) a bus to it for staff. Parkway carpark is MASSIVE. Only ever a fifth used if even. Fare would be more if you park in Parkway (albeit by an extra euro I think)

L1011

The free parking at hansfield has usually run out by about 8am so either other option is better

Intel construction staff were bussed in from there also.
