Long-Awaited W6 Orbital Bus Route Set To Launch At The End Of The Week

Monday, 18 November 2024 14:24

By Hannah Kelly

The service will merge the existing W61 and W62 routes, offering improved public transport links including Maynooth, Celbridge, Hazelhatch, Newcastle, Saggart and Tallaght

The National Transport Authority (NTA), in partnership with Go-Ahead Ireland, has announced that it is set to launch the W6 Orbital Route on Sunday, November 24th 2024.

The enhanced service will merge the existing W61 and W62 routes, offering improved public transport links including Maynooth, Celbridge, Hazelhatch, Newcastle, Saggart and Tallaght.

Works to widen the Hazelhatch Bridge in Celbridge have been the cause of the delay for the full W6 route to be in operation, and Go Ahead Ireland has temporarily operated the route as the W61 and W62 since summer 2023.]

The W6 will also enhance access to other key transport options, including train services in Maynooth and Celbridge and the LUAS Red Line.
