James Lawless has welcomed the National Transport Authority have taken on board suggested changes to Bus Routes serving Sallins Train Station.
James commented, “I recently wrote to the NTA about local transport issues and suggested that changes should be made to the 139 bus route, allowing it to be used for short hop journeys between Clane, Sallins and Naas, providing support to the train service. I am delighted that the NTA has agreed to some of these changes which are effective from this month on certain rush hour services.”
“This will allow a connection to/from Clane in morning and evening for the first time and also adds an additional feeder bus option into Naas for three of the evening train arrivals. We are all familiar with the severe pressure on parking facilities at Sallins train station and the work underway to provide a second carpark. It has always seemed obvious to me that more public transport links to the station was a solution to the dependency on parking spaces and I am hopeful that these new bus links will lead to an improvement in the current situation.”

“I also raised the need for bike storage and parking facilities at Sallins station with the NTA and they have committed to providing more bike stands while also looking into the option of more secure bike lockers if there is sufficient demand for them.”
