Bus from Maynooth to Drogheda

Lady Bee

I moved to Maynooth in September for college and am STILL finding my way about the place and trying to figure out the bus and train routes. I want to do volunteering/fostering with Drogheda Animal Rescue but I've no idea how to go about getting from here to Drogheda without spending a fortune (it appears to be €23 for a return ticket on the train which I just can't afford). Does anyone know if there's a regular bus going there, and whereabouts it goes from/to and all that? Any help is greatly appreciated!

(Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place...)

You would still need to get from Maynooth to Dublin

You'd be looking at 2 hours each way on public transport easily. Why not try a charity closer to Maynooth?

Can get train to drumcondra and then get a Matthews coach to drogheda?

Oh hai

Does it have to be Drogheda animal rescue? There's a lot of rescues around the Kildare area that would be a lot easier for you to get to.

E-mail Matthews to check their stops.

Thanks everyone, I had no idea how far away Drogheda actually is, I thought it was much closer. I was really keen on helping the Animal Rescue there because it's such a great charity but I guess I'm going to have to try finding one nearer to home if I have to. I'll check out the Matthews coach though, just in case
