    Hi all,
    I am going to start a new job and I am looking for the best way to go from Ballsbridge (RDS) to Sandyford on a daily basis. Could you help me with that?

    Cheers and thanks a lot,

    Check out the 47 bus, Goes to Sandyford Industrial Estate via Sandymount, St Vincents etc. Not sure where goes before Sandymount though.

    Its a grand cycle. Otherwise walk to Charlemont and get the luas.

    Ranelagh LUAS is probably closer

    Its at least a mile walk though, which could get tiresome pretty fast

    The no 11 bus from Appian Way or the Luas, both involve a bit of a walk.

    If you put in your exact details here you should get more accurate information.

    They are quite close together but difficult enough to get between the two. I would recommend cycling or walking to Clonskeagh road and getting the 11 bus. If you go up riverside walk it cuts down the walk a good bit. Not the cleanest of places though.

    You'd be doing well to get from Ballsbridge to Sandyford in 30 mins, it's uphill all the way

    21/25

    A mile walk is 15-20 minutes, no problem whatsoever and you get fit remarkably fast.

    Yeah, but it's downhill all the time, which comes handy after a hard day in work ;)

    I go the other way, but get the LUAS. I find the beechwood stop is the closest, head up Marlborough road and then Anna Villa, around 20-25 minutes, it's grand and a nice enough walk.
