Buses from Dalkey!?!

vocalvenus

I was wondering if I could ask a quick question. Does anyone know what number bus I would get to get to leesons street/dartmouth street D 6 from Dalkey? I have looked at the Dublin Bus website but just totally confused..?

Also can I get a dart from Dalkey to near there or is tara street nearest?

Thanks in advance.

You could get the DART to Grand Canal Dock and walk from there. It would be about 15mins stroll.
Alternatively, you could get the DART to Dun Laoghaire and get the 46A.
You could alternatively get the 8 as far as the canal where Haddington Road intersects Northumberland Road and then stroll down the canal

not many buses, so as said Dart is better
you can check directions from Grand Canal Dock to Dartmouth Street here

59 to Dun Laoghaire and then 46a to Leeson Street, or 7 to Northumberland Road and walk from there.

Alternatively, DART to Grand Canal Dock and walk from there.

59 timetable is at: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/59/

Thanks a million folks, was totally lost there! looks like Dart is my best option!

The 7D could also be an option for you. It leaves Dalkey at 7.35am and heads into town via the N11 so would drop you exactly where you need to go. There is one evening departure from OConnell St to Dalkey, via Leeson St and N11 at 17.42.

Thanks boss of me, that actualy might work very well for me at other times, do you know when it gets in and what service provider it is?

I'd guess at 40 to 50 minutes for the trip from Dalkey to Leeson St Bridge and about the same on the return journey. It's a Dublin Bus service and you can view the timetable here..
