    Hey everyone,

    Ill be starting a new job in the new year near Phoenix park. Im currently living on Aungier Street and just wondering what would be the best way to get to Phoenix park from there? (via public transport!)

    Best Advice is to get a bike.

    Where in the Phoenix park like? it's a massive area.

    Google Maps should give a decent answer but bike or a Dublin Bike membership might be your best option.

    its between Garda HQ and Criminal Courts of Justice near Phoenix park.
    Bike isnt an option unfortunately! :(

    If a helicopter (or a bike) isn't an option, you could walk to St Stephens Green and get the new Blue Luas line to Abbey Street and the Red Luas Line to Heuston Station and walk..

    Or you could just walk. 44mins

    46A bus from Dawson street will drop you by the entrance near the Garda HQ

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    literally the fastest way without cycling is walk to Wellington quay or Essex quay and take the 66, 66a/b, 67 or 69 bus, get off just after Heuston Bridge and walk up. You're going outbound in the morning so you should get a seat and it'll be reliable enough time wise.

    Stop 312 on Wellington Quay at Parliament Street serves routes 25, 25a, 25b, 25d, 26, 66, 66a, 66b, 67.

    in fainress lads the OP has delat with this and we should accept. They could have a disablity or other reason and shouldn't be having to justify themselves

    OP either get a bus to city centre and change or walk to south quays and pick up any bus heading west and get off at Hueston

    Thanks a million.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,375 ✭✭✭Boulevardier


    You could get the 46A if you are able to get to Westmoreland St, or you could take the 83 from Aungier St and walk from Broadstone up the North Circular.

    Do you know Dublin at all?

    OP: ignore this advice!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,375 ✭✭✭Boulevardier


    Why? Do you have a better idea?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Why? Do you have a better idea?

    Might as well walk from Aungier Street if you're going to take a bus to Broadstone. It's the wrong way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,093 ✭✭✭✭Esel

    Yeah, any of the previous suggestions. Look at the start and end of the journey on a map, and then look at your suggested route. It's all over the shop.

    Broadstone is close to the North Circular Road, which leads directly to the Park.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭Dick Turnip


    I'm not sure where exactly the 83 bus stop that you mean but a quick little google search I did....

    Broadstone garage (via North Circular Rd) to corner of Infirmary Rd/Parkgate St: 37min walk
    DIT Aungier St to corner of Infirmary Rd/Parkgate ST: 33min walk

    OP - don't get the 83 bus to Broadstone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭Dick Turnip


    My advice OP would be to do the short walk down Aungier St & George's St, through Temple Bar to the quays and get a bus from there to Parkgate St.

    25, 26, 66/a/b, 67 & 69

    Turnip, I understood the OP was going to somewhere near the top of Infirmary Rd near the criminal courts. If so, that would give Broadstone the edge.

    Nevertheless, I think the only way to do the whole trip by public transport is to take 2 buses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭CircleofLife


    If you can, save yourself the money and walk, as it's only 30 minutes.

    If not, get the 15 to the Quays or Westmoreland st, and take either the Red line luas to Heuston or take any bus that runs down the Quays (145 is brilliant as it runs about every 5 minutes)

    Read the OP again and look at a map before you embarrass yourself further.

    Tbh they havn’t really. Many people write cycling off as not an option. I was guilty in the past but cycled 12,000 km this year instead of driving to work. I’m also 38 and 105kg so far far From your standard view if a cyclist

    And well done to yourself, tremendous achievement. But the OP asked for public transport options. Not cycling. The OP should not have to explain to us why they don't want to cycle, we need to respect their choices.

    Dublin bikes are public transport. Suggesting to the op that he cycles is not disrespecting his choice he’s enlightening him. It’s his choice as to weather or not he considers itvas an option

    The OP has explicitly stated in reply that the bike is not an option. I appreciate you like to cycle, but not everyone wants to, or is able to. Hence why the OP has asked for suggestions on here for a route via public transport (buses, trams).
