hi editorI cant find any mention of HOW OFTEN the bus from dublin airport to heuston station goes. it says it takes about 50 mins but not how often? Is there a timetable or can the editor give me at least an idea of frequency?
(my flight arrives in on 25 aug at 11.35am if all is on time. Ill be with a 1 yr old kid and a foreign traveller so immigration might take a while. So Im guessing I get out of airport at 12.30 but who knows... i have a train at 2pm heuston station)
Many thanks,
Nk
Hi Nk,

Which Bus service do i take to get to the stop "Newlands Cross" to get to the Camac valley campsite?- #13
- By: Editor1
- On: 24/Aug/09
Hi DuncanYou can take a number of buses from Dublin Airport (Airlink/Aircoach)to Dublin city centre and then take the Number 69 from Aston Quay in the city. This bus will drop you right outside the Camac Campsite.
I'm not sure if you can get a bus directly from the airport to Newlands Cross but maybe some other readers can let us know?

Hi Anthony,The best option for you is to take the 16A from outside the terminal at Dublin Airport. You will have to get off at Kelly's Corner which is just about a 5/10 minute walk from the Hilton if that is where you're staying. The fare cost approx 2.20 and can be paid on the bus.
