SDLP Foyle MLA Sinead McLaughlin
The bus will depart Limavady around 9am and depart Derry in 2.30pm, with the pilot continuing until the end of the summer.
The pilot is now live and although it only offers one return journey, it is hoped that if well utilised, it could be made permanent and potentially expanded.
Said the Foyle MLA: “I very much welcome this commitment from Translink which follows extensive engagement between representatives of the company and my office.
“Of course, this is only one return journey for now, but I have no doubt that it will be useful for those who work in and visit the local hospice as well as those wishing to shop in the local area on the Strand Road.
“We know that Translink is operating within extremely constrained resources, especially in the current economic climate.
“However, I hope that if this service is well used, that customers will give their feedback to Translink on the value of the service so that it can be extended beyond its current pilot stage and potentially expanded in the future.”
