Bus Eireann recently launched the new state of the art vehicles that will be travelling along the S1 and S2 routes in the town.

2018 proved to be a successful year in Sligo for the business with a 7.6% increase in passengers for the year.

Speaking to OceanFM News, Brian COnnolly, Regional Operations Manager for the West with Bus Eireann, says it’s a significant investment.
