Getting to the Ryder Cup... on public transport

    I've won a pair of tickets to Tuesday's practice day.

    I'm relying on public transport to get to the K Club (from Dublin city centre). There's the official option from Irish Rail of train from Connolly to Leixlip Louisa Bridge, and shuttle bus from there, all for the special "Ryder Cup Ripoff(tm)" price of €20 return (which they call a "special offer"!)

    Would it make sure (financial) sense to get a regular bus from the city centre to the Park & Ride at Weston Aerodrome (oops, I mean "Weston Executive Airport")? I assume this is possible, even though the organisers are only promoting the train option to the non-car owning public.

    In which case which is the best bus to get? (And how much of a walk would it be from the bus stop to the Aerodrome?)

    And will we be allowed ride the shuttle bus to the K Club even if we are not actually "parking"? (As part of the price, we got a ticket for parking, so we have that, but not sure if that makes any difference).

    You've got two options here - the 66 (to Leixlip) and 67 (to Celbridge) bus routes.

    The nearest stop they both share to Weston is about half a mile away from the airfield, and is positioned at the top of the slip road off the N4 just short of the traffic lights.

    Depending on traffic etc., this may be the best stop to get off at and just walk up to the Weston entrance.

    If you are on the 67, you could take a chance and see how quickly the traffic is moving as there is a 67 stop right outside the main Weston entrance.
