    Hey, I'm thinking of booking a trip from Dublin to Lahinch. I want to know the routes I can take. I see on the website getthere.ie, I have to get off Galway Station and walk. The problem is the directions are obscure. Can anyone help?

    I don't think walking from Galway is an option.

    Personally, I would get the train or bus from Dublin to Ennis and then the Ennis to Lahinch bus, it's a fairly regular service.

    Sorry I meant walking 15 minutes towards a bus stop and taking a bus to Lahinch. Not walking all the way.

    Oh right :)

    I think there's a direct bus from Ennis to Lahinch, not sure about from Galway

    As far as I know there is coastal bus from Galway 350 if I am correct. If you are travelling from Dublin with one of the private operators then when you come out of their depot take a left towards Eyre Square. Bus/Train Station will be on your left as you enter Eyre Sqaure about 5-10 minutes walk.

    Is this from Galway Bus Station to Eyre Bus station?

    Yes, Directions are from the Private Operators Terminal. All Bus Eirean buses go from Train Station at the bottom of Eyre Square

    Thanks so much. Just one more question. Can I take the bus from Busáras or Burgh Quay?

    dublin to galway, galway to ennis, ennis to lahinch

    The Route 350 runs from Galway to Ennis via the coast.

    It leaves Galway at 0800; 1000; 1300; 1500 and passes the Lahinch 2 hours 25 minutes later.

    It leaves Ennis at 1030; 1230; 1430 and passes the Lahinch 35 minutes later.

    Last Bus from the Lahinch to Galway is 1705 arriving in Galway at 1930.
    Last Bus from the Lahinch to Ennis is 1725 arriving in Ennis at 1800.

    There are a number of options from Dublin to either Galway or Ennis from Bus Eireann/Irish Rail and various Private Operators.

    Ennis and Galway are not that big so I would plan my arrival in either to coincide within 30 min of the departure of the 350 bus.

    And plan my return based on the return service from the Lahinch to either Galway/Ennis arriving within 30 min of the onward connection to Dublin.

    could just take the train from dublin to galway/ennis and bus from there on.

    definietly wont be walking not even from ennis.

    Useful map showing the new 'Coach Station' used by Citylink and Gobus buses. The area marked 'Train and Bus Station' is for Iarnrod Eireann trains and Bus Eireann Buses. http://www.galwaytourism.ie/UserFiles/Image/galway-tourist-map.pdf?pdf=Galway-Map A short walk, as described by ger664.
