Town Centre Car Parks in partnership with the Merrion Centre is offering a free weekend shuttle service from Clarence Dock starting on Saturday 3 December 2011.

Two 16 seater shuttle buses will run a continuous service between the Clarence Dock car park and the Merrion Centre from 9.30am – 6pm on Saturdays and 10am – 5pm on Sundays throughout the Christmas period until Sunday 8 January. 

Shoppers taking advantage of this shuttle service can park for the specially reduced rate of £1 per hour at Clarence Dock during weekends in December and the beginning of January.  The free shuttle bus will operate on 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 31 December 2011 and 7 and 8 January 2012.

Ben Ziff, Managing Director of Town Centre Car Parks (TCCP) said: “Shoppers can park for just £1 per hour at Clarence Dock and then hop on the free bus that takes less than 10 minutes into the city centre.  This not only saves them time and money but also the hassle of finding a parking space in the city centre during this busy time of year.  This is the first time we’ve put on a park and ride service between our Clarence dock car park and the Merrion Centre and we believe it will be very popular.”

Helen Beckett, Associate Director at Town Centre Securities PLC who own and manage the Merrion Centre said: “We are always looking for ways to make life easier for our customers and help save them money.  The shuttle bus offers a fast and convenient door-to-door service between the car park at Clarence Dock and the shops at the Merrion Centre, allowing shoppers the chance to park all day at a very reasonable rate.  This will allow those on a tight budget to make savings or spend more on gifts for loved ones.”
