Expressway announces improved '30' timetables

Expressway, Bus Éireann’s premium coach service, is pleased to announce an improved timetable for its Route 30 service, which will come into effect on January 26, 2025.

This will include doing away with the 30X service controversially skipped Cavan towns such as Belturbet, and improve frequency to a more frequent and punctual hourly service.

Passengers will see significant benefits, says Expressway, as the improved schedule will better reflect traffic conditions, ensuring more consistent arrival and departure times.

All trips will now include a 10-minute comfort break in Cavan, enhancing passenger experience on longer journeys.

The revised timetables can be accessed online via the Expressway website - https://www.expressway.ie/routes-and-timetables.

Expressway is Bus Éireann’s commercial coach service, operating 270 daily departures across 14 routes serving more than 80 towns across the island of Ireland.

Physical timetables will also be available at stations, stops, and on our board Route 30 services.

Timetable Structure

From 26 January, all 26 daily services shall operate under the Route 30 pattern, ensuring a consistent and more frequent offering to all stops along the Beleek to Cavan route.

The X30 route pattern shall no longer be in operation and Butlersbridge shall no longer be served.

The improved timetables will increase service frequency for Beleek, Bellanaleck, Derrylin, and Belturbet, moving from a three-hourly to an hourly service. This change accommodates customers who previously had to travel to nearby towns served by the X30.

Speaking today, Head of Expressway, Andrew Yates said: “The upcoming Route 30 timetable changes are designed to improve service punctuality, enhance customer experience, and increase service frequency for communities along the route.

These improved timetables see a move away from a daily timetable structure to a new and improved Monday - Friday structure, with a distinct schedule for Weekends and Public Holidays. The new timetable has been refined to better accommodate varying traffic and operational conditions throughout the day.

Expressway remains committed to providing high-quality, dependable services to communities across Ireland. We encourage all passengers to check the updated timetables to ensure a smooth and efficient travel experience.”
