Castleknock to Donnybrook morning commute

threein99 · 2016-09-01 13:10:22

Has any any experience of this ? I have an interview for a job in Donnybrook and was just wondering what the morning commute would be like, google maps is saying 35mins - 1hr departing at 7.30am, I'm a bit skeptical of that

Few years ago now but when I used to go to UCD, in first year, it would take me the guts of 2 hours every morning and evening to get there/home. On a bus at 7am sharp, just about made it for 9. Had to get the 38 and then change busses in town though.

Travel everyday from Clonsilla to Blackrock via the M50 , summer time schools off I leave at 8am when schools are in drop the kids off and leave at 8:50am usually only 40 mins at both times on way in and leaving at 4-5pm can take anywhere from 40mins to 1hr.

You take for-granted that at least once every 2 months something crazy will happen and the commute time will jump to over an hour be it a crash or unexplained slow down and then return to normal.

I keep hoping that someone will offer the OP a lift.
