Just received a letter from Pat The Cope, at the Department of Transport, informing Letterkenny Town Council that a licence offer has been issued for a Town Bus service for Letterkenny.

The exact details of the service remain confidential until the licence is actually issued (only the Department know), but from discussions I’ve had on the subject with Pat this licence is being issued to a private operator to deliver a public bus service that will operate a broad service, covering most of the town, from early morning to late evening 7 days a week.

This is great news; we’ve been lobbying for this for some time and it was one of the main points of my election platform back in 2004. I hope this service can be up-and-running by Christmas, but it’s more likey well see it starting in early 2007.

Update:More from Highland Radio
