A new shuttle bus service has been launched for Limerick’s Covid-19 vaccination centre

By popular demand:

The Vaccine Shuttle Bus.

Via Live95FM:

The shuttle service follows widespread criticism on Live95 from listeners about a lack of transport to the vaccination centre at the Radisson Hotel as well as many people pointing out that anyone who used the bus service to Shannon would have to cross a busy dual carriageway in order to access the centre.

The service which is being provided by Bus Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA), began yesterday and is currently transporting people to the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa on the Ennis Road and will move to the new vaccination centre at Limerick Racecourse in Patrcikswell from June 7.

Spectacular footage from a new special edition of the NASA documentary Ascent: Commemorating Shuttle.

Your hosts: two cameras strapped to the side of the booster rockets on Atlantis and Endeavour as they accelerate to over 4,800kph, re-enter the atmosphere from 66km up and hurtle back down to the ocean.

You may or may not be moved to say ‘Wheeeee!’
