Bus Éireann said today that some of the main stops and all of the coaches on the Dublin to Dundalk route will be wheelchair accessible from this Sunday, March 30th 2025.
The stops which are being classed as wheelchair accessible are Dundalk Bus Station, Drogheda Bus Station, Dublin Airport and in Dublin City Centre the pick up point at Custom House Quay and the drop off point opposite the Convention Centre.
Expressway indicated that it is working closely with the National Transport Authority, the local authorities and its travel information team to identify improvements that will make further stops accessible across its entire network.
The much criticised requirement to book wheelchair spaces at least 24 hours in advance of travel will remain in place.
The semi-State bus company said that this expansion of accessibility builds on wheelchair accessibility added to the Expressway network in Letterkenny Bus Station, Ballyshannon, Sligo Bus Station, Galway Bus Station and Derry last year.
Bus Éireann said it is “working hard to improve the access to services for all passengers and particularly those with additional needs.”
Andrew Yates, head of Expressway, said: “Today’s announcement represents Expressway’s commitment to the provision of a fully accessible public transport system. We are proud to be enhancing our service offering, incorporating wheelchair accessible vehicles and improvements to bus services for our passengers in Dublin, Drogheda and Dundalk.”
“With 19 daily services departing Dublin and Dundalk, the 100X is one of the most convenient ways of travelling between Dublin and Dundalk,” he said.
He said that customers who would like to make a wheelchair booking on any of the company’s accessible Expressway routes can do so via expressway.ie/accessibility.
Bookings can be made 24 hours in advance of travel both online and via their customer service team on 0818 151515. Customers calling from outside of the Republic of Ireland can telephone: +353-1-703-4111. Yates added that the company’s customer care team are happy to support all our customers with their travel needs from 08.00 – 18.00 Monday to Friday and 9.00 to 14.00 on Saturdays.
