8th March 2010. Wicklow Way Bus has now added the village of Tinahely as a destination on their 2010 timetable. This is the second route which now operates to coincide with trains from Dublin arriving at Rathdrum Train Station. This service now makes it possible to do three individual days of the Wicklow Way as day excursions.
