From 18 August, a new TFI Local Link Cork Route 530 will be introduced between Fermoy and Mallow.
Expanded Travel Options and Improved Regional Connectivity
This new route is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan which is a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.
Route 530 will support the current Door-to-Door service offering between Mallow and Fermoy offering passengers more ways to travel and will operate seven daily return services Monday to Sunday with an additional early morning service operating from Monday to Saturday.
Enhancing services to Ballyhooly, Castletownroche, Killavullen and Mallow Train Station
The new route will provide peak-time and evening services and will also improve connectivity to Mallow Train Station to facilitate onward travel, regional bus services and to the villages and areas of Ballyhooly, Castletownroche and Killavullen.
Improved Access to training colleges, hospital appointments, Bus and Rail connections
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Cork General Manager David O’Brien said “TFI Local Link Cork recognises that localised transport solutions are an essential component in combating rural isolation
“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, hospital appointments, etc. supported with Bus and Rail onward connections”.
