Bus Eireann’s coach service Expressway has announce a revised timetable for its Route 23 Sligo- Dublin service that serves Boyle, that will come into effect on Sunday 24th August 2025.
According to the company, “The updated schedule has been designed to simplify the timetable structure offering a clear distinction between weekday services and weekend/public holidays, reflecting traffic patterns”.
“Passengers will see significant benefits, including stops being served more consistently. Ballisodare, Collooney, Boyle, Mullingar, Castlebaldwin, Longford Station and Liffey Valley will now be served on every Route 23 trip”.
“To improve journey times, some low demand stops will no longer be served: Maynooth (Route 22 (Ballina-Longford-Dublin Airport-Dublin city service) will accommodate on every trip instead), Dromod, Rooskey, Drumfin, Sligo IT and Dublin’s North Wall Quay”.
“The timetable change will also see some refined departure times. The first service from Sligo now departs at 06:00 (changing from 06:30), recognising the increased morning demand. The 08:00 from Sligo, and the 23:00 from Dublin, will now both operate 7 days a week to satisfy demand”.
Speaking on the changes, Head of Expressway, Andrew Yates said: “The upcoming Route 23 timetable changes are designed to simplify timetable structure while improving punctuality and customer experience, including arrivals into Dublin Airport. Departure times have been altered to provide for customers during the busiest period, ensuring availability when it is needed most. All of the changes introduced have been customer centred and driven by feedback to ensure smoother, more reliable journeys. We advise all customers to check the new timetables on expressway.ie to familiarise themselves with changes to departure times”.
“Expressway remains committed to providing high-quality, dependable services to communities across Ireland. We encourage all passengers to book their tickets in advance at expressway.ie to guarantee their seat and ensure a smooth and efficient travel experience.”
