Dublin Bus have announced the extension of the new L14 bus route, which will link up Bray and Shankill with Cherrywood and the Green Line Luas.
The extended service will begin operating this Sunday. The route change comes after much local consternation with the recent new BusConnects rollout in the area in January, which left Bray and Shankill without a direct route to Cherrywood and a link up with the Luas.
The route, which previously just served local roads between Palermo and the Southern Cross in Bray, has now doubled in length, and will serve Shankill and Loughlinstown before heading to Cherrywood. It will also now serve the emerging area of Laughanstown, where a lot of new homes are currently being built.
There is no change to the route's timetable, meaning the route will continue to operate every half an hour seven days a week, offering 35 return services Monday to Friday, 32 return services on Saturdays, and 30 return services on Sundays and public holidays. The route will now also provide a link between the Luas and the Dart at Bray station.
Director of Public Transport Services at the National Transport Authority Jeremy Ryan said: 'Building on the success of the initial launch of the L14 under Phase 6A of BusConnects in January, we've taken on board valuable customer feedback highlighting the need for stronger onward connectivity. In response, we're pleased to announce that Route L14 will now extend to serve Cherrywood, Shankill, and connect with the Luas Green Line – making the serviced more accessible and convenient for our passengers.'
