Local Fianna Fail TD, Frank O’Rourke, has made representations to have the bus service serving Clane and Straffan commuters improved.
Frank commented, “The Bus Service, Route 120, needs to immediately increase its capacity. Recently, commuters have been left at Bus Stops as the Buses are full. This is really unacceptable.”
“I have repeatedly called for increased capacity on this 120 bus route. Recently the service is unacceptable due to lack of additional capacity and we need to improve this service immediately. We must improve this service.”
“The numbers of commuters are growing using this service from Clane and Straffan and we need to improve it. We also need to provide a link between Straffan and Maynooth / Celbridge. ”, Frank concluded.
Frank O’Rourke TD has again called on the National Transport Authority (NTA) to approve an orbital route from Maynooth to Tallaght via Celbridge, Rathcoole and City West.
“I know from my clinics that there is a growing demand for a service linking Maynooth and Celbridge to City West and Tallaght, Many commuters need this connection for work, Education, hospital visits, and connections to other public transport services and for recreational purposes.”

James Lawless TD is disappointed that Minister Shane Ross refused to answer a question put to him about capacity on he 120 Bus Route
James commented, “I recently submitted a Parliamentary Question to the Minister for Transport on the ongoing capacity problems on the 120 Bus. The Minister referred the question to the NTA rather than providing an answer himself. I was informed by the NTA that interim arrangements are in place to supply the same capacity as normal on the 120 before the delayed transfer to Go Ahead takes place on 19th January.”
“However, it is clear that capacity problems are persisting on the route so I will be asking the NTA to improve capacity. When Go Ahead take over in January capacity should be drastically improved and I will be monitoring the situation to see how the service is operating.”
Frank O’Rourke TD has welcomed the news that plans are well advanced for an Airport Hopper service for Celbridge to commence at the end of April 2020.
“This is further good news for the people of Celbridge. Since getting elected, I have made representations and had meetings with the Management to have an Airport Hopper Service for Celbridge. The Airport Hopper is an hourly direct airport shuttle service from Dublin Airport that is in service for Maynooth and Leixlip areas.” Continue reading “O’ROURKE WELCOMES CELBRIDGE AIRHOPPER SERVICE”
