    Newbridge has a train station so that would be one option. Other than that Bus Eireann.

    Train is too expensive IMO. Get the 126 from Busaras or Halfpenny Bridge, or the aircoach. Both leave you in the centre of the town.

    Aircoach no longer serves Newbridge only the Dublin coach ( Green bus) and bus eireann

    Bus Eireann. Catch it from the Ha'penny bridge and get dropped off in the town centre.

    Train is expensive. You have to go to Heuston to board it and the station in Newbridge is a bit of trek away.

    Check Bus Eireann website and look for the 126 route. This is the Kildare-Dublin-Kildare timetable.

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for all the information. I don't do trains in general as they are tooooo expensive. I would imagine that I will do Bus Éireann as it seems the most straight forward & can't imagine I would save much using the Luas & Dublin Coach.

    Thanks again,
    Fi.
