    Is the Naas/Newbridge shuttle bus service still operating? If it is, does anyone know where I can find the timetable and location of stops? Thanks.

    It is still running. Its a bus Eireann bus. It goes every half hour(depending on traffic). There's no timetable available other than it runs from 8am till 6pm. It doesn't go any further than the main stop in Naas and goes as far as tesco in Newbridge. It stops at all Bus Eireann stops in between.

    Thanks for the info. Does the bus have a number or will it say shuttle on it? Any idea what the fare is? Cheers.

    Hi,
    I've just got a job in Naas. Just wondering what is it like to commute to Naas town everyday from Newbridge? Living in Dublin and looking to rent in Newbridge or Naas? Does Newbridge have more trains accessible to Dublin? Property seems to be cheaper there too. Any advise on areas?

    Trains are more frequent from Newbridge and the best thing is the station is in Newbridge. The Naas station is in Sallins which is a fair step from pretty much anywhere in Naas.

    There are now 3 bus companies that run Naas/Newbridge services. Bus Eireann runs a half hour service as above. Dublin bus run the green bus every hour 24 hours a day and Whelans run a service from Monesterevan to Naas from about 7am till 10pm daily for €2.

    There are many housing estates in Newbridge all with good and bad points. Maybe when you've narrowed down to a few choices you could come back and let us know and we might be able to help you decide.

    I love Newbridge. It has great shopping and a vibrant nightlife. If you have children there is much for them to do with a great selection of schools. Naas is ok But i've never lived their.

    Looking at Curragh Grange or Roseberryhill, these are in our price range.. would be interested in older estates too. Whats the traffic like to drive to Naas in the mornings and evenings? Is traffic heavy?

    Getting through Newbridge in the mornings from about 7.45-9.00 can be a nightmare due to schools. Were I living in Curragh Grange I'd be heading for the motorway to bypass the town. Roseberry hill is a nice spot. You can go to Naas via a back road that avoids the town. Curragh Grange has a few shops nearby while Roseberry hill is a bit outside the town. Given a choice myself I'd take Curragh grange.
