Bus Éireann confirms that a number of services on our commercial Expressway network are under review

Bus Éireann can confirm that a number of services on our commercial Expressway network are under review. These services are self-funded and not related to the services we operate under our Public Service Obligation (PSO) contract, for the State.

Some of the routes on our Expressway network are incurring significant losses and are unsustainable in an increasingly competitive environment, for the business. Plans are underway to reschedule the number of stops serviced on the route 7 (Dublin to Cork), and also the removal of route 5 (Dublin – New Ross – Waterford). We are in discussions with the National Transport Authority (NTA) – who license the services – to assess the service requirement in the locations affected. These discussions are ongoing.
