Transport for Ireland (TFI) has announced major changes to its 983 Local Link route, which serves Kinlough, Bundoran, and Ballyshannon.
The changes are scheduled to take effect on October 20.
Route 983 will be enhanced between Kinlough and Ballyshannon, operating ten daily return services Monday to Thursday, 14 daily return services on Friday and Saturday, and eight daily return services on Sunday, with two daily return services extending to Manorhamilton every day.
The enhanced route will offer a new connection at Melvin Fields housing estate in Kinlough instead of Bundoran Cinema.

This enhancement is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the TFI Network.
“We are delighted to announce the enhancement of route 983. This enhanced service will connect towns for work, education, and social needs with multiple services each day,” said Fiona O’Shea, General Manager for TFI Local Link Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim.
