Passed me earlier today,service 406 or 407,will be using it for sure
-
Does anyone know if this bus only goes one way? I'd love to use it as a gateway to get into the hills from Carrick Little to save parking the car there but it would be quite a trip having to circle the entire Mournes first.
-
Far as I it only goes one way,anti-clockwise,so you'd have to do the whole route,thinking I'll use it next week & get off near Spelga walking back across the mountains,muck,loughshannon,meelbeg,meelmore,bernagh onto the brandy pad they down the saddle
-
are dogs allowed on it?? lol
-
I'm sure they would be. I've met a bus driver who was walking in the hills, took his dog on a bus from Newcastle to Belfast with no troubles.
I'd be interested to know about that £20 deal they have going (read it in the Mourne Observer) for unlimited travel at the weekends. Is this throughout a period of time, or one weekend only?
