Frank O’Rourke, has been informed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) that Dublin Bus will shortly be submitting formal proposals for changes on the Lucan Road corridor which will include additional off peak services to the Glen Easton area
Frank commented, ‘Additional services are required for the Glen Easton area and I have raised this matter with both the NTA and Dublin Bus on a number of occasions.’
‘I am delighted that Dublin Bus will be shortly submitting proposals for changes to Route 66 which will improve the service to Glen Easton,’
‘We are making progress with additional Sunday service for Maynooth and Celbridge Route 67 commuters, an improved bus service for Kilcock is now in place, we have a Park and Ride for bus commuters planned for Kilcock, improved rail services for those using the Kildare line with the opening of the Phoenix Park tunnel, and the Kilcock and Naas rail commuters now have a fairer fare structure, and I have received assurances from the NTA that it will seek tenders for the Naas to Blanchardstown service, serving Clane, Rathcoffey and Maynooth, in the first quarter of 2017.’
‘I am now confident that additional services for Glen Easton will be provided once the NTA receive the formal proposals from Dublin Bus,’ concluded Deputy O’Rourke
