Cheapest way to get from Galway to Waterford

daylers

Hello, I'm just looking for some advice and wondering can anybody help me, does anybody know the cheapest way to get from Galway (ballinasloe) to Waterford for a non student ?
Bus or train, I believe the train is €63 which sounded to much!

Bus Eireann via Athlone would be the cheapest option.

Route 20/X20 to Athlone and route 73 from there to Waterford (2 services each day) or Route 20/X20 to Dublin and route 4 from there to Waterford.

Route 20/X20 timetable here:

Route 73 here:

Book the train online and you can get a single for 26.99 (49 return), you need to select Ballinasloe-Kildare and Kildare-Waterford as two tickets.

06.09
08.07
13.45

Weekdays all connect with Waterford services at Kildare.

Monday-Saturday, you need to book separate tickets to/from Kildare. All those times are the connections which display when you look at Ballinasloe-Waterford but as I say you need to book separate tickets for both legs.

Just to point out, you don't have to be a student to use the JJ Kavanaghs service.

The further you book in advance, the cheaper the fare.
