    Hi,
    Looking for experienced commuters from Newbridge to Ballsbridge to share their travel secrets. Would be really interested in hearing your thoughts on the train service to hueston and, if you do take the Luas to Connolly to get the dart to Lansdown, what you make of it.
    Really trying to get a sense of how feasible it is. Thinking of renting and hopefully, some day, buying in Newbridge

    I used to travel from Athy to Ballsbridge. Done it for 2 years so New bridge should be a bit more manageable. I would advise getting off Luas at Abbey St and walking to Tara St station. Works out quicker

    What was your commute time on average? Just want to factor that in when considering crèche drop off and collections

    I do Kildare to Ballsbridge driving every day and would highly recommend driving over Train etc. 60e a week on diesel, free parking in Ringsend, travel when it's quiet is 45 mins either way and 90 mins when busy provided no accident etc

    Would leave Athy station at 0640 and be at Landsdown station by 0815 on average.
