    Hi there

    Just wondering are many familiar with nitelink services to greystones? How long is it likely to take me to get from town to here? My vague recollections from years ago aren't good but might give it a go again, don't fancy forking out for a taxi!
    Thanks:)

    The finnegans bus at 3am goes to Greystones too. It goes through almost all of Bray though. It's handy cause it goes through Charlesland but does take a long time

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Is there any possible way to get home from town late on a sun/mon/tues/wed without having to pay for a taxi?

    if your getting a taxi you set the price and keep stopping taxi's until someone will take the fare.... my girlfriend did this one night and we got home for 30-35 quid instead of the 50-60 we were being told the first couple of cabs.. I'd say during the week it will be even easier to haggle!

    There is the aircoach but you would have to go down to the point for that. There is also a Bus Eireann bus that goes to Wexford along the N11 (002 maybe) but you would have to get off on the N11 and get a taxi from there.

    Not sure it will pick up from there.

    Think its drop off only from the airport.

    They couldn't - they only have a licence to pick up at airport and scheduled stops to airport

    Once tried to go to the Point using the Aircoach and they definitely won't let you get off anywhere before the Airport. It's the complete opposite on the way back:)

    Will they pick you up from the point though? Or do they just let people off?

    Hey guys,

    What's the best way to get from the city centre to Greystones on Sunday night/Monday morning? Just wondering if there's certain services not running as it's a bank holiday weekend. I'm guessing Finnegan's might be the best bet...
