Public Transport
Most public transport operates between Maynooth and Dublin. 

Trains
It takes about 10 to 15 min. to walk from the entrance of Castle Dawson to the station house at Maynooth.  Unfortunately the footpath is not continuous, is narrow along most of it's length and harbors large puddles in wet weather so be careful!
Due to major reconstruction on the Dublin/Sligo route, a temporary timetable will operate from the 4th April 2000. The timetables below show the peak times and are subject to change (updated from the Irish Rail web page on 1st Nov. 1999), so please check them against timetables that may be obtained at the station house.
