Mainline trains service Kildare Town and Newbridge Train Station, both stations have free return shuttle buses in operation. Check train times here 

FREE RACE DAY SHUTTLE BUS SERVICE

The Curragh offer a FREE shuttle bus from Newbridge and Kildare Train Stations and Town Centres for ALL fixtures. This initiative is kindly sponsored by Manguard Plus.
Buses will commence with the arrival before the first race and finish an hour after the last meeting, or two hours for the larger festivals. Buses are scheduled with Irish Rail’s main train arrival and departure times in mind and will be updated and displayed below in the days leading up to the fixture.

**If you have a large group arriving by train and plan to use the shuttle bus for any of our race days please email / call us at least two days in advance as we try our best to accommodate everyone but naturally, the smaller fixtures will have smaller buses assigned for pick up and drop off unless otherwise notified.

The shuttle buses will drop off /pick up at the North Carparks at the Curragh Racecourse.
