In the past 10 Years Bus Eireann has gradually expanded it's operations in Sligo,stemming from an expansion in Expressway and Local services.

Most of the immediate local needs are served by 4 ME Class Minibuses,new in 1997 and transferred to Sligo later on,and in 2001 by 2 Wright Cadet/DAF SB120 midibuses.DWR012 &ME204 are seen here at the recently rebuilt Sligo Bus Station.Note DWR012's DMD destination,for the recently introduced local Nightrider service in Sligo City.

 

 

DWR012 is seen here at seaside resort of Rosses Point,the terminus end of the 473 service.DWR012 is not at the terminus as such,which is next a school around the corner from the picture but most of it's clientel board here,with a car park on one side and the Yeats Country Hotel on the other. DWR012 also has a spotless interior,both Sligo's DWR's are well looked after.

DWR011,the sister of 12,is seen on the second service on the hop out from Sligo City,the 472 service to the Seaside resort of Strandhill.This is a popular area for surfers,and Sligo Regional Airport is located nearby.Some services of the 472 serve the Airport on Request.

Some additional views of DWR011 at the Strandhill terminus.The service,with it's 7 services per way each day,as can be seen is well patronised.

Sligo normally keeps it's 2 DWR's to operate the Rosses Point and Strandhill services,but occasionally other buses are used.

VP326,normally found on Top Line Expressway Work,is seen here arriving into John Street from Rosses Point.

Strandhill and Rosses Point have about 7/8 departures daily from Sligo Bus Station.Typical fare is €5.25 return.
