The red line represents the 4w - Newcastle bus route. The purple line shows the 5w - Rahoon bus route.
Public Transport Directions:
Catch the 4w - Newcastle bus from Eyre Square.
The bus goes over the river, past the Cathedral (on the left) and then past the University (on the right).
Outside the hospital, the bus make a right-hand turn. There are still university building on the right for some time.
St Francis Nursing Home is on the right, after the last of the university buildings (ask the bus-driver to stop at the closest stop, it's difficult to describe otherwise).
Then main entrance to Corrib Village is at the next bus stop. (Note: there is another foot entrance inside the university campus as well).
The bus makes a sharp left-hand turn outside the Westwood Hotel: there is a bus stop immediately around the corner:
- Galway Business Park is across the road again
- The driveway entrance to Dangan House / Dangan Nurseries is a little way down Newcastle Rd (to the south of the business-park).
- For the Regional Sports Centre, walk a little further up past the business-park, and take the next entrance on the right.
- Bushypark Church is on the left, approximately 1 mile further up Newcastle / Dangan Rd.
Evenings and Sunday:
After 7pm, and on Sundays, the bus route number changes to 4x5W, and the route is combined with route 5w - Rahoon. However the Newcastle section is visited first, so there is no change to the directions given above.
