Gorey - Dublin

poolergirl · 24-07-2009, 15:05

I live a good bit south of Gorey and I travel by train 4 days a week (driving to station) and drive one day a week.

Driving to south city centre approx. 1 1/2 hours each way, if I leave home at 5.30-6 a.m., and leave Dublin before 4. Leaving later either way gets you into serious traffic and increases the time.

Train 1 hr 40 mins each way plus drive time to station.

Wouldn't recommend it to everyone but I find it ok, not a huge difference for me from when I lived in outskirts of Dublin as I had to travel across the city. There are quite a few people making the trek from Gorey on the train.

Driving is more tiring but nice to get home earlier one day a week.

So Coco, what did you do in the end? I normally drive from Gorey to south city centre for the last 2 years. Have been getting the train since before Christmas due to weather but I am considering sticking with the train. Leaving Gorey at 6am would have me in for 7.15am - 7.20am driving. Leaving Dublin at 15.55 would have in Gorey by 17.25. The train with a sleep or a movie on a portable device are becoming increasingly attractive.
