London - Dublin bus

There is now an alternative direct way of getting from London to Dublin (and visa versa).
 
National Express is partnering with Irish coach operator Bus Éireann to reinstate the London – Dublin coach service for the first time since the pandemic.

Operating on new Bus Éireann Expressway coaches, customers can now make the overnight journey to Dublin via a stop in Birmingham.

The service will initially operate twice weekly, on Fridays and Sundays, departing from London Victoria Coach Station at 18:00 and arriving into Dublin Busáras Bus Station the following day at 06:30.  The reverse trip leaves Dublin a 20:00 and arrives at Victoria Coach Station 07:30, a scheduled 11hrs 30mins.

The journey includes a ferry crossing at Holyhead.

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

It includes baggage allowance of a free first suitcase up to 15kg, and onboard wi-fi.

John Boughton, Commercial Director at National Express, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Bus Éireann to relaunch this popular service. As demand for affordable transport grows, coach travel is a great way to get to Dublin”.

Fares start at £69 one way.
