TFI Local Link Longford Westmeath Roscommon has announced a new timetable for Route 570.
From Monday September 8th, a new timetable for Route 570 commencing from Boyle’s Lough Key Forest Park will come into effect.
The new timetable will combine Route 570 and 570a to form one route between Roscommon and Lough Key Forest Park all year round. The bus also serves Abbeytown and Boyle town centre.
The enhanced 570 will operate three daily return services Monday to Sunday with an additional service on Friday and Saturday evening and will also include a new stop in Ballinameen.
The route will continue to offer peak-time services and connectivity to Roscommon Hospital, Roscommon Station and to regional bus services as well as to the towns and villages of Abbeytown, Ballinameen, Croghan, Elphin, Tulsk, Strokestown, and Kilbride.
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Longford Westmeath Roscommon General Manager, Damien O’Neill said: “We’re proud to support the enhancement of Route 570 from Boyle to Roscommon as part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan. The improved service now includes a new stop in Ballinameen and offers year-round access between Lough Key Forest Park, Boyle, and Roscommon. With the addition of a late evening service on Fridays and Saturdays and improved connectivity to Roscommon Train Station, this route will better serve the needs of our communities and make public transport a more practical and attractive option for all.”
This enhanced 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.
