Action group to fight for bus service restoration

A LOCAL action group is being set up to fight for full restoration of the Bus Éireann Galway service to Swinford and Kiltimagh.

Changes were made to the route last July, meaning passengers in both towns have been left without a direct, reliable service.

Moves are now afoot locally to set up an action group to tackle the issue

A story posted on The Connaught Telegraph website and social media platforms yesterday concerning the issue drew a huge reaction from affected passengers.

On Facebook, Niall O hUiginn highlighted how a local action group is currently being set up to fight for full restoration of the route.

He urged locals: “If anyone from Kiltimagh/Swinford would like to help out, please make contact. Also any personal stories from people who have been affected, please contact me, niallhigg@gmail.com.”

The issues on the route were highlighted by Fianna Fáil TD Lisa Chambers who has had several constituents contact her office regarding their experience of the service.
