Local services are also provided by Dublin Bus, as the L58 and L59, while [[Go-Ahead Ireland]] operate the W61. These routes link the town to the city centre, as well as to the nearby towns of [[Lucan]], [[Maynooth]] and [[Leixlip]]. The Town is also served by [[Bus Éireann]] route 120 and 120B. [[Iarnród Éireann]] runs commuter rail services to a station in Hazelhatch, about {{convert|3|km|0|abbr=on}} from Celbridge. The L58, L59 and W61 bus services link the station with the rest of Celbridge, Leixlip, and Maynooth, providing connections to other bus and rail routes. ''Commuter'' suburban rail services from [[Kildare]] to [[Dublin]] city centre serve Hazelhatch, although these are quite limited on Sundays. The service brings passengers to [[Dublin Heuston railway station|Heuston station]] or to Grand Canal Dock (via Connolly Station, Tara Street and Pearse Street stations). The station is located on one of the most important ''InterCity'' lines in the country, with services to Cork, Limerick and Galway, however, these do not stop at Hazelhatch station.
