Maynooth Train Station is about a 10-15 min walk from the University South Campus; buses from Dublin stop on the Main Street (Dublin Road) in front of the South Campus Main Entrance.

If you have booked on-campus accommodation you will need to check in at the Conference & Accommodation office on the South Campus. This office is located beneath the left arch of Stoyte House. See number 11 on South Campus Map.

GETTING FROM THE TRAIN STATION TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS
The shortest route to the University from the Train Station is to cross the canal by the footbridge and follow the roadway towards Maynooth Main Street (or Dublin Road). At Main Street turn left and you will see the Main Entrance to the South Campus in front of you (just beside the castle ruins). A longer route (that does not involve crossing the footbridge), is to follow the roadway up from the Train Station to the Straffan Road, turn left at the Straffan Road then turn left at Main Street and you will see the Main Entrance to the South Campus in front of you (just beside the castle ruins).
