If anyone has a spare seat in their car, coach, boat, plane, train or whatever could they please get in touch with me.

Ians coaches are full and I'm desperate to go to the $hels game tomorrow....

I'm willing to pay my way and would really appreciate it.

Thanks, in anticipation. (An Englishman in Cork.)

Get a Luas from Heuston Station to O'Connell/Abbey Street. Then get 3, 11, 11A, 16, 16A at North end of O'Connell St or Westmoreland Street and get off at Fagans.

Lads a few options for those who want to go to the match.


Get a return ticket for the aircoach www.aircoach.ie (http://www.aircoach.ie) for €30. Now there is none straight after the match but...the first one to Cork is at 6 in the morning so just go out for a few drinsk and then onto a club, bit to eat after wards and tada its 6 o clock, or alternitvly you coudl skips the drinking etc and go get a few hours kip on a seat in the airport

Hmmmm....... Lots of great suggestions BUT (!) I have to be in Cork for 08.00 because my (football loving haha) girlfriend is going away for the weekend and I am the pack-horse with all her luggage. :mad:

So, I'm still hanging for that 1 seat in a car.

Anyone know the closest Luas stop to Tolka? I'm getting the train up to Heuston, but after that I'm lost. Never been to Tolka before. Is the bus from O Connell St the best bet??

from fourfiveone (http://www.fourfiveone.net/ontheroad.html)



From the city centre... Follow signs for the airport, which will bring you out along Dorset St. which becomes Drumcondra Road. Cross the canal and go under the railway bridge. As you keep driving, you'll pass houses on your left, which are back from the road, behind trees. After these houses, you go through a set of lights and over a bridge. Richmond Road is the next right and Tolka Park is a couple of hundred yards along on the right hand side. Any of buses 3, 11, 11A, 11B, 16, 16A, 36, 36A, 41, 41A, 41B, 41C will get you there.

It'd be a bit of a trek from Heuston. 30 mins to O'Connell St and the bones of 45 mins from there to Tolka! Your best bet would be to get a Luas to Abbey St, walk back to O'Connell St and get an 11 bus from there to Tolka.

Or a 16 (think the 16 might be more regular)

as mentioned above, the 11s 16s and 13a will all go out past fagans. they all leave from more or less the same spot at the top of o'connell street just up from the bus office, so wait around and jump on the first one you can get on. its only about 15-20 minutes out, depending on traffic.
