Cork bus users face 'difficulties' after Expressway routes axed

Impact will be 'significant' in towns such as Fermoy and Mitchelstown

Bus Eireann has announced that multiple Expressway intercity routes are to be cancelled.

Bus users from towns such as Fermoy and Mitchelstown in Cork have been put in a "difficult" position over Bus Éireann's decision to axe its Expressway routes, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has admitted.

Mr Ryan said he would be raising connectivity for such towns with the National Transport Authority (NTA) following Bus Éireann's announcement that its routes from Dublin to Cork, Limerick, and Galway would cease in the new year.
