DUBLIN, Athlone and Galway overnight from London by coach: this journey will be possible from today by a new National Travel (North West)/ Coras Iompair Eireann joint service. Although CIE and National coaches will be used throughout, the drivers will not make the ferry crossing with the vehicle, but will work within England and within Eire.
This international service is the first to be licensed under EEC rules and operates under authorisation No. 1.
Pick-ups in England are Lon don, Watford, Coventry and Birmingham; serving Dublin, Athlone, and Galway in Eire.
Journey time is about 20 hours, and the through return fare from London to Galway
costs £27, including the Liverpool-Dublin crossing by 13+1 line.
The service will initially operate during summer weekends.
