Cork-Dublin Coach Service

Dónall

I wonder could anyone give me some advice here:

I don't know Cork at all, but in a couple of weeks I have to be in the Imperial Hotel, South Mall until 6.30 Sunday evening. Then I have to get back up to Dublin.

Now, the last train leaves Cork at seven; would I make it? The last Bus Eireann bus that doesn't take 14 hours or something leaves at 6. If I couldn't make it to the train station on time is there a coach service that leaves a bit later on?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

If you get a move on, yeah, it shouldn't take more'n twenty minutes or so. Want directions?

EDIT: Course you do. Come out of the main door of the Imperial and turn left. Walk to the end of the Mall and turn left again. Walk to the river and turn right. Left over the bridge and walk as far as Leisureplex (on the left). Turn right and cross the road and you'll see the railings of the train station ahead of you, slightly to the left.

Thanks folks,
that's a relief to hear. Look forward to seeing Cork for the first time as I rush for the station

Get the first train on Monday, stay over and have a few pints.

That'd be just the thing; and me starting a new job in Dublin that very Monday morning
I'll be doing the a few pints in Cork thing on Sat night anyways.
Cheers.
