    The affected routes are:

    Route 4 Waterford to Dublin Airport via Carlow
    Route 40 Rosslare/Wexford to Waterford
    Route 52 Ballina to Galway

    Bus Eireann claims its due to significant financial losses.

    I wont comment on the 40 or 52 as im unfamiliar with them.

    The 4 will be a huge loss I reckon. For Carlow residents it will leave JJ Kavanagh as the only bus going to the airport. The trains to Dublin are already packed to the gills.

    Im on mobile so excuse the formatting.

    The crazy thing is they cannot even spin it for PR purpose announcing new routes or expanded coverage with the buses they will free up.

    Waterford – Dublin/Dublin Airport (Route 4), Rosslare/Wexford – Waterford (Route 40 Segment), and Ballina – Galway (Route 52)

    Wexford Bus covers some of those routes. Guess there’s not enough to go around.

    The civil servants and government dept wonks happy to reduce connectivity in the south east.

    Still it might add traffic to Waterford airport 😉

    Bit of a pain if your using the Dublin Rosslare bus, you’ll have to switch to Wexford Bus in Wexford.

    Maybe an opportunity to fund early morning  local link buses into the train stations. First Waterford to Dublin train is at 5.30am, first bus gets to Waterfors at around 7.45am. Bus Eireann shutting the Dublin Galway route was also a disaster

    The inevitable outcome is that bus eireann stop doing these routes because of competition, then the private company immediately limits the service and people lose out. But somehow that’s fine

    The whole point of the 40 was effectively a route from Tralee to London, it won’t function like that now.

    With the 4 stopping due to JJ and the green bus, it could take 1 more competitor to put the 40 to Cork in trouble
