Passengers will now be able to board coaches on the 705X route opposite the Maghera Park and Ride facility on the Glenshane Road for direct onward travel to Belfast International Airport, Dublin Airport, and Dublin’s O’Connell Street.

Passengers will also be able to disembark the 705X service at Maghera Park and Ride.

Ahead of its 25th anniversary later this month the company has also announced it will run an additional eight express services on the 705X route from Sunday, March 24.

The introduction of the additional Belfast to Dublin express services means passengers will be able to avail of 17 coach journeys each way, each day.

"The introduction of these additional services between Belfast and Dublin means we are enhancing that vital connectivity and choice for passengers and that Aircoach is now providing the widest array of vital services between these two key cities and their airports.”
