Would anyone know the best way to get from Maynooth to Drogheda (I'll settle for that) on a Friday evening, not including Finlay coaches which I already get. My bus goes at 4 on a Friday but I'm not finished until 5. I've been looking at the train but there's no train going direct to Drogheda. Is there a handier way that I'm missing? Cheers

Only option really is two buses , trains etc. Otherwise you could try see if you could sort out a lift.
Theres a bus from maynooth that goes to the airport and then theres a bus from the airport that goes to drogheda
or theres the myriad of busses from town that go to drogheda for commuters but that would require you getting into town on the train first.
AFAIK your best option would be to get the train or a lift if you can.
As the train usually gets into connolly on platform 5 or 6 from Maynooth and the ones for Drogheda usually leave from 6/7 (or 3/4 if there the express ones ) so its only ever a short walk to wherever your train will be and they'll be fairly frequent around that time too. Only downside is it'll be rush hour around then so the trains could be quite packed coming from town.0 -

Train from Maynooth to Connolly and then a train to Drogheda. Would be a long enough journey0 -

Yeah it'd be about 2 hours 0 -
Yeah I was looking at the train via Connolly alright and it is quite long alright I was looking at the possibility of getting a train to Drumcondra and then a bus to Drogheda but that will be quite long as well. Either way I think it's going to take me a while regardless. I don't know anyone with a car that could give me a lift but I'll definitely look into it as best I can. Thanks for the replies 0

The bus stop is literally outside the door of the train station. They generally arrive there at five past the hour and twenty five to, so choose trains from Maynooth so that you're not waiting around for 45 minutes.
Only issue you might have is that only the Bettystown Matthews bus takes the Leapcard. The others do take your student card, but to make it cost effective you might want to go for a ten journey, 55 squids I think. Singles are, as on almost every other service, a rip off. But even if you just get a return ticket, you can use that return any time in the next two years. Don't get a single.
Right ok. This may be a silly question, but I will only be using this service on a Friday evening so will a return ticket allow me to just go from Drumcondra-Drogheda every week or will I need to make a Drogheda-Drumcondra to use up the return ticket? (I hope that question isn't too awkwardly phrased
) 0 -
No no it's journeys that count, not the direction. If you get a return from Drumcondra, there's no reason you can't just use that second journey the following Friday for the same Drumcondra to Drogheda.Right ok.

Or at least that's how they used to do it. Me and my sister used to share the same ten journey ticket, bus driver would just punch it twice. I don't think they mind in that company. Certainly not like the train baboons. Those sods used to charge a three day return price for a day return if you were getting it on a Friday. Probably even worse nowadays.
To be sure though, you should send them an email and ask. I'm used to the Bettystown bus, might be slightly different on the Drogheda/Dundalk routes. The Matthews coaches also have wifi... I wish the Finlay's coaches had wifi. Just being able to check mail/twitter/boards/etc. makes the time go a bit quicker.0 -

Me too , though I drive in now so all I've to complain about is the bloody traffic on the M50 making me leave 30mins earlier than necessary and the parking issues the college has like no spaces after 10am !?!?!
Maybe try sites like carshare.ie and the likes for a lift ?0 -

This is going to sound really ridiculous (Like most things Ive asked here..) but how do you go about printing? Like I know theres plenty places to do it but like, can you print off the web or do you bring your memory stick? And then how do you pay for it, do you have to top up your student card? And how much does it cost?
Sorry, I really should figure these thigns out for myself but Im too scared of making a fool outta myself 0 -
