Kinsale bus service will link Charles Fort with Cork's MTU and CUH

TFI Local Link Cork is to introduce a new bus route between Kinsale and Cork West beginning next Monday.

Route 255 will operate four return services daily between Charles Fort and the west of Cork city (MTU Bishopstown) from Monday to Sunday.

The new route will also provide peak-time service connectivity to Forthill, Kinsale College, Kinsale Community Hospital, Halfway, Ballinhassig, Wilton Shopping Centre, Cork University Hospital, MTU Campus, and regional bus services.

The new route is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, which is a public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.

TFI Local Link Cork general manager David O’Brien said: “This new service will provide people living along the route with access to services and onward connections on a daily basis. The enhanced service will mean a significant improvement in the quality of life for people living in these areas.

“People can now access a wide range of public and social services, training courses, colleges and hospital appointments, supported with onward connections.”
