974.0. "Public Transport Shannon <--> Galway" by JANUS::JUBB (Alison, DTN: 830-6779, REO2-GM9) Mon Nov 25 1991 07:46

    Please can someone advise me if there is public transport between Shannon
    (the airport, or somewhere a reasonable taxi ride from the airport) and
    Galway.   Are there any trains that run between the two, for example?

    Thank you for any help,

    Ali

    There's a pretty regular bus service from Shannon via Ennis to Galway.

    Many thanks for the suggestions.

    I"m staying in Galway, so will use the bus from Shannon airport.  Is it
    advisable to book a seat on these buses, or are they generally quite easy
    to get on?

    Thank you,

    Ali

    No need to book....but you'll have to change buses once in Ennis.

    I haven't heard of anyone using the bus to get from Shannon
    to Galway since I did it in 1973:-).  I certainly didn't try
    it again.  I think the trick is to arrive at a time when you
    are not hanging around Ennis for half the day waiting for a
    connection.  With that in mind the following buses from
    Shannon connect with buses to Galway at Ennis:

    		Mon-Fri		Sat		Sun
    		09:35		09:35		  -
    		  -		11:15		13:35

    		19:00 (Fri only)  -		18:05

974.9Shannon-Tarbert car ferryPOLAR::RUSHTONThu Oct 26 1995 14:026
    I'm considering taking the ferry from Shannon to Tarbert rather than
    the drive around Limerick (destination Glengarriff, Co. Cork).
    
    Anyone know of the cost, schedule, etc.?

    I did this some years back.  We just turned up and got on the next
    ferry.  Can't help about the schedules or prices, but we didn't have to
    wait long, and I don't remember it being that expensive.

    Pat, someone published the Killimer-Tarbert ferry crossings
    in this conference some time back. I'll search the file and
    see where they are hiding.

    My cousins (-in-law) did this a few years ago.  They stopped in a local
    to wait for the ferry and stayed three days.
