Hello,
So I've just moved to Greystones (love the place). Anyway I'm fairly clueless about a lot of things but this is really important. I have a date with a girl from Bray coming up and if all goes according to plan I should be able to get her safely home on the last DART. But there's a chance that she might miss that, so in the event of an emergency how much would you say a taxi to Bray would cost? I normally like to plan everything way ahead of time but this is a really special girl so I want things to go like clockwork and be prepared for any eventuality. An estimate would do.
Thanks.
You never know your luck, you might be dropping her home in the morning mate

It'd be at least €20, I'd say. It cost me €20 last year to get a taxi from outside Bray station to Charlesland, no call out as he was on the rank and it wasn't particularly late just long wait to next Dart which I didn't want to do as was on my own and coming from airport (Pre-Aircoach Days
). If I'd known how much it was going to cost, I'd have gone for a coffee and waited! 0 -
Thanks for the replies so far guys. It helps to be prepared. €20 or thereabouts isn't too bad in an emergency I suppose. There'll be none of this taking her home in the morning lark, we're both devout Christians, that ain't how we do things. 0

Dont forget about the 84 and the 184 they could be later... as far as I remember the last bus is after the last dart, so that could be an option for you. Might be worth checking out the timetables for the day you're going on the date.
Good luck! Sounds like you really like her, very sweet! 0 -

Ah young love, I remember the days
Just to say as well that it can be a problem actually GETTING a taxi from Greystones, I've had to ring umpteen different numbers before finding one available even during the day, a lot of them just seem to have one car so if they're on another call you're out of luck. So, if you are taking the taxi route allow plenty of time to get one and start phoning in advance while comfortably ensconced somewhere (i.e. don't end up standing on the street phoning around for an hour, I don't think that would impress her
:))
Maybe someone on here knows which are the more reliable taxis in the area(haven't come across any myself yet!)?0 -

Actually, €20 could be on the low side now I think about it. I think it's about an extra €20 from Bray to Greystones when we are sharing a taxi home from Dublin, so that doesn't include the add-on fares.There'll be none of this taking her home in the morning lark, we're both devout Christians, that ain't how we do things.
Apologies for the flippant comment Puck.0 -

No need to apologise to me Eoin, you haven't offended my delicate sensibilities or anything.
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm prepared to pay more than €20 if it gets her home safe and means she has a good night. I will look for a reliable taxi company but this will all still be just in case of emergency. Still I may end up taking the DART with her and walking her home just to get her there safe and then have to take a taxi back myself. So the information could be handy in more ways than one.
May I say you're all being very neighbourly. Thanks very much! 0 -

Well a devout Christian would surely be generous enough to lend her his bed for the night and escort her home on the dart the next morning rather than entrusting her to a stranger? 0 -
