Marley Park

[IcecreamForAlcohol]

Hello,

Hope you don't mind me posting here but wondering how easy it is to get to Marley Park on the Luas?

Bumping for you. Sorry I don't know that area particularly well.

Just googled and there is a bus transfer to Msrley Park from Dundrum Luas station

the Luas stops aren’t very near MP - depending on where you are coming from you’d be better off just getting the bus - normal or one of the private shuttles (assuming you are going to one of the gigs on next week!)

Although as PP said there is a shuttle from Dundrum

Thank you all 😄.

Yes, we're going to one of the gigs.

Do you know if we can pay by card / I pay on Dublin buses? Or if we need the right change in Euros? We're coming from Liverpool and haven't been to Dublin for a few years.

Get a leap card.

Yes leap card is best bet. But the private buses are the best - think they were more expensive but all lined up outside the last time I was there.

which concert are you going to? Im
going to two there next week!

Where are you staying?

We're staying on the north side of the CBD. About 20 mins walk from Trimity College.

Going to GnR. Would have loved to see the Chilis too but couldn't get the time off work.

Really looking forward to it. We arrive lunch time on gig day. Stay over and have a tourist day the day after.

So I think the private bus goes from Custom house which should be near enough you. €10 return but much faster than the normal Dublin bus.

maybe see you there!! I’m going to green day night before.

If you are staying near the Green Luas line, get the Sandyford or Brides Glen Luas to Balally. I think there are private shuttle buses running from there to Marlay for the gigs. Let me find the link, I am sure I read this online the other day.

You can buy a return Luas ticket at the point of boarding, if you aren't staying long there isn't a need to get a Leap Card (travel card)

Sorry that link doesn’t seem to work.

it’s actually more expensive than I thought! The 16 bus goes from O’Connell st but takes longer

I would say if you can afford it and are staying northside then get the direct bus linked above. The public bus takes ages and you might be waiting ages on the way back.

Definitely use Marathon Coaches - they are the best for getting to and from gigs. I'm using them for Green Day on Monday... possibly GnR as well but I'm pregnant so waiting to see how the weather is looking (don't think I could take 2 rainy gigs on my feet in a row).

As pp posted above, but I had the wrong luas stop on my last post. Get off at Dundrum for the shuttle (not Balally)

I wouldn't trust the 16, it is a slow journey at best of times and I imagine they reroute it or terminate at an earlier stop during concerts

You guys are so lucky with that line up in a week.

Add in the Foos and it would be my dream week of gigs 😀

Haha Icecream I don’t live in Dublin either but I agree. They weren’t originally all the same week though - rescheduled due to the rona. I like RHCP but Foos would be unreal.

I’m on the same island though so that’s handy

We live on the way from Balally Luas to Marlay - I've just Google mapped it and was surprised to see it's a 50 minute walk. If the weather is dry it would be a nice walk for you, but I'd definitely not want to do the return walk after standing at a gig all night!!!

The 16 bus which goes straight down O'Connell street will drop you off close to Marley park

OP did you book the marathon coaches bus? I was at green day last night and it was a nightmare getting home. We were walking round for 3 hours before we got a taxi at 2am. You should be alright if you have the prebooked bus though!

Oh Christ @ColonelNobbyNobbs what a nightmare!

We could hear the gig pretty clearly from our house, still half tempted to buy tickets for tonight, and walk up

It was really good thanks. Luas then bus on the way, plenty of Marshalls at the Luas stop to tell us what bus to get on. 2 buses on the way back, again plenty of marshalls to direct us.

It was a great gig 😃

It was good wasn’t it. The Tuesday night was better organised for transport I think. GnR finished a lot earlier than Green Day also so public transport still going. Hope you enjoyed rest of your time in Dublin!
