Fine Gael TD for Kildare South Martin Heydon, has today (Friday) encouraged residents in South Kildare from Kilcullen through to Castledermot to make use of the new Bus Route that is now up and running.
“Many local residents will be aware of the campaign to restore bus routes to the local towns and villages since JJ Kavanagh reduced the number of routes that ran from Castledermot on to Kilcullen at the start of the year. After a strong local campaign the National Transport Authority has agreed to provide this additional service.
“The new local link bus service runs from Naas to Carlow several times a day serving Castledermot, Moone, Timolin, Ballitore, Crookstown, Kilcullen, Carnalway and Two Mile House. Social Welfare travel passes are accepted on the new route which has been designed to coincide with onward buses from Naas and Carlow.
“The usage of the new bus route will be reviewed after six months and will only be continued based on usage so people need to use it or lose it.”
