Grange Castle Public Transport

Is it just the 13 serving Grange Castle?

The 151 and 68 also pass by. And there's a train station down the road a bit. I don't know how far though.

If you put in your starting location and where exactly you want to go on here it will give you the options.

The train stations shows up an hour walk. I was looking at 151 and train to Park West but not really sure. Job offer needs me relocate for a year before going back into the city.

Generally, I'd crawl on hands and knees than get the 13 anywhere. 151 is best.

How about cycling? The Grand Canal runs along the edge of Grange Castle. The last stretch is closed off at the moment (major road construction in the area) but there is an access gate from the canal into the Grange Castle.

It wouldn't be a C+T thread about a query without someone asking the OP is cycling option

It's most likely a revenge conspiracy,due to the numbers of Busdrivers spamming the Cycling Forum with thousands of "Why donchyiz get de Bus like" posts......Hard to blame them really ?

Thanks for suggestion but not in a million years. I will try 151 route if needed.

I've been taking the 13 from Grangecastle area to the northside. Not a bad service but a takes an absolute age. Very frequent service.

Google Maps tells me to take the 68?

.G.

68 stops near the front entrance on new nangor road, 151 stops near the rear/side entrance and the 13 goes into the business park itself.

68 takes about 30 minutes just to get from the city centre to Inchicore due to the meandering route it takes around the south inner city. 151 is best option.

And also only runs once an hour compared to the 13 which runs every 15 mins and the 151 which runs every 20 mins. Although I'd say after 3 months the OP has made up his mind about the best way to get to Grange Castle.

Slightly off topic but where are good areas to live when working in Grange Castle and using public transport?

South Clondalkin is nice, especially around the village.

It really depends on the budget you have for where you're living.

Southside of Lucan is another option for living near Grange Castle as the 151 starts at Foxborough. It's also a 30-40 minute walk and there's a direct route of bike lanes for the sunny days.

Yes was looking at Clondalkin. I just wanted to know if there were others nearby as well

Greenway kills rai....

Sorry, wrong thread

Gael23

The office is nearly a mile from the 151 stop so I really need to be getting the 13.

The 13 is a misery and unreliable. If I were you keep your options open to mulitple routes to the GC (151/68/13) and the odd walk to your office, Clondalkin Village area of Ninth Lock, Old Nangor road near the Fonthill Road or north side of Woodford might be good options as you're covered by multiple routes. The 151 alone from Woodford is about 10/15 minutes quicker to the GC entrance on a bad day.
