  • Increase from 10 to 12 daily return services in each direction connecting Letterkenny and Monaghan to Dublin Airport & Dublin City.
  • Revised departure times in Letterkenny and Dublin to significantly improve punctuality.
  • New services offer customers greater choice during peak periods, including improved arrivals into Dublin Airport.

Expressway, Bus Éireann’s premium coach service, is pleased to announce an improved timetable for its Route 32 service, which will come into effect on 25th May 2025. The updated schedule has been designed to provide more frequent and punctual travel for all Route 32 customers.

Passengers will see significant benefits, as the improved schedule will better reflect traffic conditions, ensuring more consistent arrival and departure times. The updated timetable will also ensure a more frequent and reliable service, with an increase from 10 to 12 daily return services on Route 32 which serves key stops at Busáras, Dublin Airport, Ardee, Monaghan, Omagh and Lifford before arriving at Letterkenny Bus Station.

The timetable change will also see the introduction of a new midnight departure from Letterkenny, offering customers the chance to avail of early flights from Dublin Airport – as well as a new late night departure from Dublin at 00:15 providing a convenient option for those travelling after evening events in the city.

Speaking today, Head of Expressway, Andrew Yates said: “The upcoming Route 32 timetable changes are designed to significantly improve service punctuality, enhance customer experience, and most importantly increase service frequency by 20%. This will enable us to add almost 1,500 weekly passenger journeys and is in response to the growing demand on this corridor.

These improved timetables offer better punctuality along key segments of Route 32, including arrivals into Dublin Airport. Departure times have been restructured to provide for customers during the busiest periods, ensuring availability when it is needed most. The first morning departure from Dublin has been amended slightly to support improved punctuality across the timetable. 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. For example, the previous 22:00 departure from Dublin Airport will instead depart at 22:30, better accommodating passengers arriving on late evening flights.

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.”

The revised timetables can be accessed online via the Expressway website –  https://www.expressway.ie/routes-and-timetables. Physical timetables will also be available at stations, stops, and on our board Route 32 services. Expressway is a fully commercial operation which receives no state subvention.
