We will do this by liaising with existing service providers. New services may be added, or existing services improved. Rathtoe, Tullow, Existing 800 Carlow Arklow Shillelagh and other Local Route Proposals places en route Local routes connect smaller towns and villages and their rural catchments with Leignlinbridge, Muine nearby larger towns. This will improve access to the range of services available in 873 Carlow Kilkenny Bheag, Paulstown and larger centres, at morae useful times of the day and week, for those living in rural other places en route areas and smaller villages. It will also permit transfer to Regional Services to travel onwards, with timed reliable connections. Carlow, Muine Bheag, Train Dublin Waterford Kilkenny and other Existing Routes places en route No significant changes are planned to these routes. As the public transport network develops, and as more people travel more often and more widely by public transport, we will continue to review their usage and take steps to ensure their continued fitness-for-purpose. Notes *Serving: The map shows the main alignments of our planned routes and services. Most journeys will take that route. However, there may be a need to deviate from that route to provide connectivity to smaller settlements or areas located of fthe main alignment, but which also require a level of service. Distinctions may be drawn in the passenger information that we prepare, as support to the maps shown. Connecting Ireland proposes a step-change in public transport connectivity. The minimum level of service we have identified is a strating point in many cases. Where our analysis demonstrates a warrant for levels of service above the minimum, we will plan to provide that, where funding can be identified. Improvements may be delivered in stages as the project proceeds.

Route Connecting Serving* Regional Corridor Proposals Regional Corridors generally operate along main roads, connecting cities and large towns and 33 Dublin Airport, any settlements en route. Corridors can consist of several routes, some provided commercially Swords, Lusk, and some by the State using financial support. Some run the full length of the corridor between 33A Dublin Balbriggan Rush, Skerries places, and some, only on sections. Connecting Ireland will improve the level of service during the and other 33X core day, evenings and on weekends on Regional Corridors. We will do this by liaising with existing places en route service providers. New services may be added, or existing services improved. Dublin Airport, Local Route Proposals 101 Swords, Routes Balbriggan, Local routes connect smaller towns and villages and their rural catchments with nearby larger 101X Dublin Drogheda Julianstown towns. This will improve access to the range of services available in larger centres, at more useful and other times of the day and week, for those living in rural areas and smaller villages. It will also permit places en route transfer to Regional Services to travel onwards, with timed reliable connections. Existing Existing Routes Gormanstown, Balbriggan, No significant changes are planned to these routes. As the public transport network develops, and as 191 Stamullen Dublin Balrothery and more people travel more often and more widely by public transport, we will continue to review their other places en usage and take steps to ensure their continued fitness-for-purpose. route Notes Rowlestown 197 Swords Ashbourne and other *Serving: The map shows the main alignments of our planned routes and services.

Route Connecting Serving* Regional Corridor Proposals Regional Corridors generally operate along main roads, connecting cities and large towns and Abbeydorney, any settlements en route. Corridors can consist of several routes, some provided commercially Lixnaw, and some by the State using financial support. Some run the full length of the corridor between Listowel, 272 Tralee Ballybunion places, and some, only on sections. Connecting Ireland will improve the level of service during the Lisselton and core day, evenings and on weekends on Regional Corridors. We will do this by liaising with existing other places service providers. New services may be added, or existing services improved. en route Local Route Proposals Annascaul and other Routes 275 Tralee Dingle Local routes connect smaller towns and villages and their rural catchments with nearby larger places en towns.

Corridors can consist of several routes, some provided commercially and some by the State using financial support. Some run the full length of the corridor between places, and some, only on sections. Connecting Ireland will improve the level of service during the core day, evenings and on weekends on Regional Corridors. We will do this by liaising with existing service providers. New services may be added, or existing services improved.

This will improve access to the range of services available in larger centres, at more useful times of the day and week, for those living in rural areas and smaller villages. It will also permit transfer to Regional Services to travel onwards, with timed reliable connections.

Route Connecting Serving* Regional Corridor Proposals Tullow, Baltinglass, Blessington Regional Corridors generally operate along main roads, connecting 132 Bunclody Dublin and other places en route cities and large towns and any settlements en route. Corridors can consist of several routes, some provided commercially and some Ballon, Kildavin, Bunclody, by the State using financial support. Some run the full length of the 368 Tullow New Ross Enniscorthy and other places corridor between places, and some, only on sections. Connecting en route Ireland will improve the level of service during the core day, New Ross, Duncannon, Wexford, evenings and on weekends on Regional Corridors. We will do this 370 Waterford Rosslare Rosslare Strand and other places by liaising with existing service providers. New services may be Harbour en route added, or existing services improved. Killinick, Rosslare Strand, Tagoat, Local Route Proposals 387 Wexford Rosslare Kilrane and other places en route Local routes connect smaller towns and villages and their rural Courtown and other places en catchments with nearby larger towns. This will improve access to 389 Riverchapel Gorey route the range of services available in larger centres, at more useful Routes times of the day and week, for those living in rural areas and Kilmore Johnstown Castle, Murntown, smaller villages.
