    For a student who has just started college in Carlow does anyone know what would be the best route for traveling up and down as there is no direct route. Obviously he would have to go via Dublin but I wonder is that the best/only option.

    Bus Éireann (change at Busáras)
    19:05 Departs Carlow I.T. Main Entrance

    20:30 Arrives Busáras
    20:45 Departs Busáras

    00:45 (next day) Arrives Letterkenny Bus Station
    Total journey time 5 hrs, 40 minutes

    thats the most direct i can find, from here and you can also look for car shares on there

    For the bus & rail: http://www.studenttravelcard.ie/index.aspx I acknowledge that the Carlow IT student card should also be okay, but from experience having the card makes getting your fare discount a lot smoother.

    Went there years ago and through Dublin is the only way if you're on the bus.
    Driving, head for Portlaois, Tullamore onto M6, over to tyrellspass on the M6, north to Mullingar on the M4 and then home.

    Though with Motorways the way they are now probably through Dublin is still as fast though tolls will cost ya.

    Great town by the way, you won't regret it
