Bus Eireann has today announced changes to Route 52 - the service from Ballina to Galway - as this bus route will no longer service the towns of Swinford and Kiltimagh.
The changes will come into effect from this Sunday 1st July.
Bus Eireann says the revised Route 52 buses will travel from Ballina to Castlebar and onto Galway, with some changes also for other routes in Co Mayo.
A new Route 421 will be introduced bringing passengers from Swinford, Kiltimagh and Knock to Claremorris, with connections from Claremorris to other services.
Mayo Fianna Fail TD Lisa Chambers says she predicted this outcome earlier in the year, but Bus Eireann continually denied that services would be cut, and a review was underway to enhance services in Mayo.
Deputy Chambers says today's statement from Bus Eireann confirms what she feared all along - that Swinford and Kiltimagh would be removed from Route 52.....
