Q: How do I get from Dublin airport to Heuston Station?

Dublin Express: from €9 for one traveler, 30–55 min. It leaves you at Heuston Station, stop 4425, before the coach turns back along the north quays. For an intercity train connection, this is the stop that matters: Dublin Express route 782 calls at Heuston Station on its way round the quays, 30 to 55 minutes from Terminal 1, so there is no Luas crossing with luggage.
