Bus Éireann raises capacity of Cork to Kinsale service after complaints

There were demands for a full double-decker service every half hour, for the re-instatement of the 226a service, and for the installation of covered shelters at all stops

The move follows a public meeting in Kinsale on Monday which was called to discuss problems with the 226 service between Kinsale and Kent railway station in the city centre, and to demand improvements.

Bus Éireann has increased passenger capacity by 50% on its Kinsale to Cork city route following a raft of public complaints about the service.

The company told the Irish Examiner that the passenger capacity increase on each trip will be achieved through the introduction of double-deck coaches to the route from this week.
