Commute from Blessington to Dublin
I’m looking at buying somewhere a bit outside Dublin. Ideally somewhere safe and quiet with good access to greenways and nature, but it also needs to be close enough to dublin (less than 90mins by bus/train) since I work in the city center 2 days a week. From what I have researched Blessington seems to tick a lot of boxes for me. Only thing I’m unsure about is the commute.
From what I see, the 65 bus is the main option, going through Tallaght. I wouldn’t be getting off there or anything, but I’m wondering what the route is like specially while going through that part. If it’s a rough enough bus most days with antisocial stuff, it might put me off buying there. To be honest I don’t know much about Tallaght beyond what I’ve seen on this subreddit, some make it sound like a bit of a warzone. Not sure how accurate that is though
Anyone here use that route regularly? What’s it like?
