Park and Ride for Bus and Rail Commuters for North Kildare opening next Friday

A Co Kildare  TD, Frank O’Rourke, has been informed that the Park and Ride for Bus and Rail commuters, with a 100 vehicle capacity, will open next Friday 23rd of November.

He said:“The park and ride for Kilcock is a much needed resource for commuters. Working with local business people in Kilcock, I identified potential sites for the park and ride facility, and working with Kildare County Council, I worked to secure this suitable site, adjacent to the Lidl retail store and I am delighted it is now ready to be open."

He said:“This facility, which is close to the town centre and public transport facilities is an important facility for Kilcock and surrounding area.”

Deputy O'Rourke said;“I continue to fight for improved public transport services, we need a better Rail and Bus service for Kilcock. The Route 115 service needs improvement as growing numbers are using public transport to travel to Dublin. Travelling to Dublin by car is almost becoming impossible and we need to provide adequate capacity to cater for the increased demand for public transport. I will continue to press for further improvements.”
