Getting to Portlaoise

Choose where you are coming from, the day and the time, and this searches the National Transport Authority’s published timetable for that journey, from door to door: the walk to the first stop, the vehicles, the changes and the walk at the other end. Driving and walking are worked out between the same two points, so the three can be compared. It is the schedule as filed rather than live running, so it has no idea whether the 09:15 was cancelled.
