Dublin Bus extends Route 24 service to Beneavin Road
The National Transport Authority and Dublin Bus will extend Route 24 to serve Beneavin Road from late August 2026. This diversion enhances connectivity for local residents without increasing the frequency of buses on the route.
The National Transport Authority, working in partnership with Dublin Bus, has confirmed significant improvements to public transport connectivity for users across the capital. From Monday, 24 August 2026, Route 24 will officially operate via Beneavin Road, a strategic move designed to enhance access to the wider network for local communities.
Extensive feasibility assessments were conducted prior to this announcement, specifically testing the capability of buses to safely navigate the turn from Glasnevin Avenue into Beneavin Road. These evaluations confirmed that the diversion can be accommodated without compromising safety or service reliability. Consequently, passengers travelling along Beneavin Road will now enjoy improved access to various destinations and connections previously unavailable.
Jeremy Ryan, Director of Public Transport Services, highlighted the positive impact of this change: “This change will provide a welcome improvement for people living along Beneavin Road, making it easier for residents to access public transport for work, education, healthcare and other everyday journeys.” He further noted that these adjustments represent ongoing opportunities to improve services and respond effectively to passenger needs.
While the revised route will add approximately five minutes to the current round trip, this extension will be delivered without requiring an increase in the number of buses operating on the service. The updated timetable and stop information are now available for passengers to review ahead of the launch date.
