Expressway Eurolines returns following pandemic

Bus Éireann, Ireland’s national bus company, has announced the return of the Expressway Eurolines service linking Dublin with London and Birmingham from 7 July. 

The Expressway Eurolines service is currently being operated by a contractor on behalf of Expressway, with two return services operating each week. The vehicle currently in use is a new 53-seater Mercedes-Benz Tourismo registered in January 2022.

They make the overnight sea crossing using Irish Ferries’ services.

Pre-pandemic, more than 15,000 passengers used the service between Ireland and Britain each year.

Tickets cost just €39 one-way, or €70 return. The service operates on Thursdays and Saturday with customers checking in in Ireland during the evening and arriving into Victoria Coach station the following morning at 8am.

The baggage allowances include a free first suitcase.
