Local Link has received approval for the expansion of the 367 Tramore to Dungarvan service. Operating along the Copper Coast the service when tendered will increase to four daily return services Monday to Saturday from the current three-day service.

Bus services between Ballinroad and Dungarvan

Allied with increased services between Dungarvan and Waterford City the new timetable will offer eight daily services between Ballinroad and Dungarvan. “ Based on our experience of operating hopper services for the West Waterford Festival of Food we believe that there is a significant demand for a public bus link between Ballinroad and Dungarvan and will be using the expansion of the 367 service to see what will best fit the needs of the local community” James O’Donoghue, Manager.

Local Link Waterford is committed to the ongoing development of new and expanded services. “The development of new local bus services in rural areas across the County continues to be a priority for Local Link. The expansion of public transport services will open up opportunities not only for local residents to make connections for employment, health, education and recreational opportunities, but also allow visitors to access the many areas of historic interest and natural beauty across the County.” Cllr James Tobin, Chairperson of Local Link Waterford.

363 Tallow to Dungarvan

Local Links’ current 6.00pm service from Tallow and return 7.00pm service from Dungarvan will now operate across all 6 days from Monday to Saturday. Local Link is also adding two daily return services from Tallow at 10.00am and 3.oopm and an additional 3.00pm service on Sundays.

361 Ardmore to Dungarvan

Currently operating four return services Monday to Saturday, an additional three return services will be added to the current timetable. The service will also operate three return services on Sundays and the current Thursday to Saturday evening services will also operate on Sundays.

17 Clashmore to Dungarvan

Demand responsive door to door bus services in more rural areas remain a cornerstone of what Local Link do, and in line with increasing demand we have recently increased our Saturday services between Clashmore and Dungarvan from one to three return services.

 (June 2019)

We are delighted to announce that from June onwards there will be two additional return services on Route 17. Clashmore – Aglish – Villierstown to Dungarvan on Saturdays.  See new timetable for details.

The National Transport Authority continue to support the ongoing development of local bus services under the Local Link Rural Transport Programme and we are confident that the additional services will be well supported by the local community.

Local Link, with over fifteen years experience in developing and managing local bus services are currently looking at expanding the service between Tramore and Dungarvan to bring it more in line with the 363 Tallow to Dungarvan service and have applied to the National Transport Authority for a service between Dungarvan and Clonmel. Local Link will also pilot evening schedules on a number of services over the summer months. As we continue to develop a network of services for County Waterford we look forward to welcoming you on our services.

Fares vary depending on the destination and are set at a maximum of €3.00 per single trip for Adults. Reduced fares apply for students and children over 5 years of age. Free travel passes are accepted on all Local Link services.
