Letter writer Dominic Gallagher in The Irish Times yesterday bemoans how there is no joined-up thinking when it comes to rail and bus service in the West of Ireland.
He should travel to Kerry.
There are eight weekday trains a day between Dublin/Cork and Tralee, and intermediate towns, and there are 10 weekday buses from Tralee to Dingle.
Trains arrive in Tralee at 08.26, 10.58, 12.58, 14.58, 16.58, 18.58, 21.00 and 22.55.
Buses leave from Tralee to Dingle at, 06.00, 08.00, 09.00, 11.15, 12.30,14.00, 16.15,m18.00, 19.30 and 22.00
Trains depart from Tralee 04.40 (Monday only), 05.10 (Tuesday to Friday), 07.05, 09.05, 11.05, 13.05, 1505, 17.05 and 19.05.
Buses from Dingle arrive in Tralee at 08.14, 10.03, 11.33, 13.33, 15.03, 16.33, 18.33, 20.29 and 21.59.
Yes Bus Éireann and Irish Rail are two separate companies but what’s happened the concept of an integrated bus and rail service.
This timetable means there is only one rail bus connection between Dublin/Cork and West Kerry.
There are two daily services linking West Kerry with Dublin/Cork, with both connections with less than an hour’s waiting.
