Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Do you use your car to commute in and out of Dublin?

    Why don't you get the Maynooth train to Connolly and walk/hope on the Luas from there.
    I do this from Hazelhatch and wouldn't even think about driving to the Red Cow, or City West to pick up the Luas
    Gym is on the Luas route back to the Red Cow so it's better in my case. Otherwise I'd be on the train.

    That makes sense, I was trying to figure the logistics out.
    I work between the last two stops on the Luas, it's a pig of a location at the moment, but we've free parking and flexible start/finish times for when i need to drive.

    Yeah if it wasn't for that, I'd have no need to drive anywhere near Dublin at all.
    Parking around there is sparse at best, seems more people are working down there lately as well, usually the Luas is half empty at that stage, now it's at Spencer Dock before it clears out properly.

    I cover a fair length of the grand canal, starting at inchcore working at baggot st...
    45-1hr in the car both ways
    15mins cycle
    .... no brainer really, have to take the car in once or twice every two weeks which is a pain.

    It seems we'll never get transport right in this city... less we adopt some radical approaches (and elect politicians who are prepared to make tough choices)

    Ah it's nothing compared to some other guys, gets a bit addictive though wanting to hit the 200k in the week! Plus the health benefits am the fittest I've been since college and probably the lightest 5/6 kg down without really trying.
