The 6 Euro return is not widely advertised but it can be purchased no problem last time I got on the bus about 6 months ago from Connolly.

€6 return?

Note that it operates from Busáras, not Connolly.

I meant 10 euro - scrambled brain and yes from Busaras, but you know what I mean!

Anyone know the exact location of "Stop 8 - Talbot Street, Central Bus Station
& Connolly Rail Station" as described on the 747 Airlink PDF: http://dublinbus.ie/PageFiles/110/Airlink%20Brochure.pdf ?

The rest of the Dublin Bus site (http://dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/7471/) implies that the 747 runs non-top from North Wall Quay at Jury's Inn to Cathal Brugha St but clearly this is not the case. I took it a few months ago and I recall the "Connolly" stop was under a railway bridge but I can't remember if it was that at Talbot St (stop 620) or somewhere else...

The web page appears to be wrong. I can only imagine it is stop 620. It is indeed at a railway bridge and would be just about the only practical stop to use between North Wall Quay and Cathal Brugha Street.

Stop 8 inbound is the first stop on Talbot Street, stop 620 which is at the railway bridge.

There is another stop near the Connolly Car Park (stop 7) on Commons Street at the junction with Sheriff Street.

Thanks guys! That makes sense, I recall the 747 stopping somewhere around the back of Connolly which looked pretty bleak, so that must be Stop 7.

Would the 6:15 departure from Heuston (747 bus) get me to the airport at around 7? I have to catch a flight leaving at 7:40 in a few days time (it's a weekday morning) - no luggage to check in.

I wouldn't risk that. Any delay at all - en route or at the airport (and 7am is peak travel time) means you've missed your flight. Also, take into account your carrier and their position In the airport - at the very end of terminal one or conveniently near the front of terminal two with very little competing traffic trying to get though security? You'd be much better off getting out there for 630 and having a less stressful time.

What is your last check-in time?

For an 0740 flight I'd aim to be at the airport for 0630 or so

I'd aim for the 0545 or 0600 departures.

I need to be at the gate at around 7:20. I might need to take a taxi then, will be difficult to get to Heuston before 6:15.

Thanks for the replies!

Yes, it would have you there in loads of time. I caught the 6:30 departure at the IFSC the other day (it arrived there about 6:43) and was at the airport at 7:05. As long as you know where your gate is, you shouldn't have any problems.

Just for future reference in case it helps someone - I took the 6:15am 747 bus a few weeks ago. Arrived airport at 6:53, and I was at the gate at 7:05. Did not leave much room for error, but at least I didn't have to pay €30+ for a taxi.
