‘Good news’ - Local councillor welcomes changes to popular Waterford bus service

A local councillor has welcomed changes made to a popular Waterford bus service which came into effect today.

Sinn Féin councillor Kate O’Mahoney addressed changes made to the Route 357 bus timetable in a post on social media.

The bus, which runs from Youghal to Dungarvan, is popular with those commuting to work in the Waterford town.

In a post on Facebook, Cllr O’Mahoney wrote: “Good news!

“The NTA agreed with a proposal I brought to Local Link to adjust the timetable for Route 357.

“With effect from August 26, this service will arrive at Davitt’s Quay, Dungarvan at 08:31, 14 minutes earlier than currently.

“This is ideal for those travelling to Dungarvan for work, education and training.”

A picture of the new timetable was attached to the post.

The first bus service of the day now leaves Youghal at 7:35 and arrives in Dungarvan at approximately 8:31.

The last service leaves Youghal at 21:40 and arrives in Dungarvan at around 22:36.

Meanwhile, in the other direction, the first bus from Dungarvan to Youghal departs at 9:10 and arrives in Youghal at 10:06.

The last service to Youghal departs Dungarvan at 22:55 and arrives in the Cork town at 23:51.
