    Hi, just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions for getting from Duleek to Baldoyle Industrial Estate? At the moment, I get the 103 Bus Eireann bus at 06.55 into O'Connell St., and then head down to Connolly Station to get the train out to Howth Junction. I have to be in work for 09.00 so the only other thing I can think of is to get a bike and cycle over to Drogheda train station and get the train from there to Howth Junction. Any other suggestions/ ideas would be appreciated :) I know driving would be best, but I can't drive and don't have a car I could use anyway so not an option at the moment!
    Thanks

    There is Bus Éireann route 188 Duleek-Drogheda, although you then have to go from the bus station to the train station.

    Not many other realistic options.

    Hi Victor, I had a look at the 188 alright but from what I remember the first bus was at half 8 so wouldn't have suited me to get into work on time. Thanks anyway.

    OP it might be worth finding out if there is anybody else from Duleek who would drive to the train stations in Droghega, Laytown, Gormondstown or Balbriggan and see if you can hitch a lift with them (say offer a share towards the petrol/parking to sweeten the deal).

    Failing that sticking with the 103/DART is probably your best option I'm afraid.

    Hi P_1, yeah I was thinking that might end up working out if I can find someone. I should be able to contribute a good bit towards petrol and still spend less than on bus!
    Thanks
