Hi

I need to travel from Belfast Letterkenny on Saturday. Does anyone on the board have advice of the quickest and cheapest way to do this,

Many thanks

Haven't checked, but almost certainly Ulsterbus from Europa Buscente to strabane, then local service to Letterkenny.

Bus.

Belfast to Derry. Derry to Letterkenny. Just under 3hrs.

There is a direct bus from somewhere in Belfast to Letterkenny, if you want I can ask the person who uses it for the details?

Cheers, Des.

Ulsterbus Belfast -> Derry (easy)
Bus Eireann Derry -> Letterkenny (hint - look at the derry - sligo route on their web site)
Or Lough swilly (rubbish busses!!) also do Derry->Letterkeyy

Strabane would be teh long way round.

forgot there is a bus that leaves from outside jurys (NOT THE AIRBUS)

big plain white bus wiht a wee sign in the front window. think it leaves at sometime 16.00-17.30 on weekdays. the driver parks it round the side of the college sqare east tech. may be worth a look around

deppo

Patrick Gallagher's coach departs jurys hotel Belfast monday to saturday evenings at 5.30 pm - should have you in letterkenny by about 7.45. single fare is about 15 euro i think - well worth it - no need to change, wait for connections etc. It goes on out from letterkenny through kilmacrennan to annagry direction if you need tio go further than letterkenny. different timetable on sundays - check website at

i think airporter now run a service between letterkenny and the belfast airports.

Doh! I was thinking of Lifford, not Letterkenny! Though the difference in the routes is only 8 miles.

Although the difference in distance is small, the bus from Belfast to Strabane is like a service bus that takes bloody ages, as opposed to the express bus to Derry that takes 1hr 40mins.

And Lough Swilly aren't rubbish, they're "rustic"
