    Any time I get the bus to Dublin there are always 6-10 cars parked up on the Castledermot road just before the motorway on-ramp. It looks like they are parked there all day but I don't see why people would park there all day?

    Anyone know why people park out near the motorway?

    Car pooling to work. Meet at motorway and share a car the rest of the way?

    Had the misfortune of using the occasionally showing up JJ Kavanagh 17:45 'direct' Dublin-Carlow service (which isn't direct as it turns off the motorway to go through Castledermot for the sake of dropping off 4-5 people who could get another bus 15 minutes later /rant) for a few months a while back.

    There were several people on the bus who seemed to leave their car there all day as it was free parking. Amount of cars increased when they started working on the pub in the middle of Castledermot and blocked off the car park there. Risky move considering some of the new tenants in the area.

    I always wondered about those cars myself and carpooling makes total sense.

    It happens at the majority of motorway junctions close to towns all over Ireland. It certainly isn't exclusive to Carlow if anything it's only a recent thing at the castledermot roundabout. They make ****e of the roadside I don't know why Kildare cc don't put in a decent lay by.

    True. Although they don't seem to use the motorway ones. If the gardai weren't afraid of offending the pc brigade they should be moved on as soon as they drop the step to their caravans.

    I see they're back on that bit of a lane just down from there. :mad:
