Irish Ferries coach deal

by Brian Byrne. Irish Ferries have joined with a number of major European coach operators to offer new scheduled coach and ferry services linking Ireland with cities in Britain and a number of other European countries.

Marketed on line, the new city to city service begins with departures from Dublin every Thursday, Saturday and Monday at 19.30 to Birmingham, London and Antwerp with onward connections to Latvia and Lithuania.

Onboard coach facilities include air conditioning, stewardess service, refreshments, reclining seats, video, WC, and generous baggage allowance. Coaches, all non-smoking, stop every four hours for comfort breaks. Seats can be pre-booked.

Fares from Dublin to Birmingham and London are from €17 one way/€30 return inclusive of all taxes and charges.
