Community Transport Pilot Scheme

by

Local Link Carlow Kilkenny Wicklow Logo

A Chairde,

Here you will find links to a Guidance Note and application form in respect of a new pilot Local Link Community Transport Service scheme. Please pass on to any community groups you believe may be interested.

Grant aid of up to €5,000 for the project is available. The value of the grant will be determined on a case by case basis.

This is a Closed Call for applications in that the Local Link office – in this case ourselves in Ring a Link – is being requested by the National Transport Authority (NTA) to identify one only potential project from one only of the counties Kilkenny, Carlow and Wicklow; and seek the required information from the community group proposing to operate the service. There will, thus, be only one successful project between the three counties.

The closing date for receipt of applications to us at ringalink@gmail.com by 12 mid-day on Tuesday 19th November to enable us to recommend a suitable application to the NTA. See the links below for the guidance notes and application form.

Kind Regards,
John Wallis,

Ring a Link.

183 Glendalough-Wicklow Local Link Diversion for August 2019

by

This is the route the 183 Local Link Glendalough to Wicklow bus will take around Vartry Reservoir while road works take place. This diversion will be in place for a month, and the normal route is due to be reinstated on 7th September. The Byrnes & Woods stop at Roundwood will not be affected by the diversion.

Updated 183 Glendalough to Wicklow Bus Timetable

An updated version of the 183 Glendalough to Wicklow timetable is now available for download at our web site here:

https://www.ringalink.ie/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Local-Link-Route-183-Glendalough-to-Wicklow-4Page-DL-1.8.19-ONLINE.pdf

This new version lists the Primary Health Care facility and Knockrobin Hill as stops, and contains a few smaller updates.

The Grand Hotel stop in Wicklow is now named Grand Hotel Front in order to distinguish it from the Bus Éireann stop at the side of the hotel. This should clear up some confusion regarding the location of this stop.

183 Bus Timetable Booklets
Printed timetables will be distributed soon.
