Dun Laoghaire to Green Luas

kinsy

Hey

I need to get from Dun Laoghaire to the Windy Arbour luas stop. Im not sure of the area around the newer luas stops. Is there a bus I can get from DL to any of the green line luas stops? Or close enough.

Cheers

Hmm you could get 46a to brewery road stop and walk 10/15 mins up brewery road to get to the pedestrian entrance to the sandyford Luas stop?

There might be another bus route from dunlaoghaire that I don't know about but the 46a is very regular.

You can get the 75 from Dun Laoghaire to Dundrum and change onto the Luas there (stop nearest the side/flyover entrance to the town centre car park).

Wouldnt it be good if there was a luas spur from a DART station to a green line luas station. The minimum distance between two stations on the two lines cant be that far. Once the red and green lines are connected over the marlborough bridge, all stations on luas and DART would be connected!

There was plans to extend the Green line to bray. Doubt it will happen in the foreseeable future

I'm highly amused at the idea that any public transport in Dublin should be efficient and well thought out :P

(I recall reading recently, maybe on boards, someone theorising that the public service infrastructure is so fractured intentionally to create huge profits for Centras beside bus stops!)

For my money, the easiest way is a 75 to Dundrum, but as it's only every 40 mins or so, the 46A and a walk might suit your schedule better.

Or do what I do and cycle

Mr Simpson

Here's a list of options for the journey

Great, thank you all. This is very helpful!
The 75 is a bit irregular, especially at night when I'm making the journey, and I hadn't considered the 46a to brewery road. I would have taken it to the shopping centre which is a much longer walk.
Seems I have plenty of options. I'll just wait for whichever bus comes first and take it from there.
Axolotl, cycling isn't an option at the moment but hoping it will be soon!

Dart to Blackrock and 17 from there would bring you very close to Windy Arbour.

kinsy

oooh that's a good one. And actually might drop me closer to where I am going. Deadly, I hadn't considered the 17. Cheers
