Laois Towns Set To Benefit From New TFI Local Link Bus Improvement

The increase in runs is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan.

Transport For Ireland has today announced enhancements to a bus service operating in Laois. 

Route 834, which operates between Portlaoise and Roscrea, will now run six daily services from Monday to Saturday, with an evening service from Thursday to Saturday.  

Additionally, there will now be increased services on Sundays and Bank Holidays with six daily returns, all of which will commence from February 10th.  

The route serves Laois towns, including Mountrath and Borris-in-Ossory, and offers access to Portlaoise Hospital and the Portlaoise train station.  

The increase in runs is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, developed and funded by the National Transport Authority. 

TFI Local Link Laois Offaly General Manager, Frances Byrne says "We are delighted to see extra services added to our Sunday timetable with this enhancement.  This service provides a valuable connection from Roscrea, Borris-in-Ossory, Castletown and Mountrath to Portlaoise for access for work, educational, and social activities".
