The National Transport Authority (NTA), in partnership with Bus Éireann, is proposing to improve Route 187 and would like to hear your views. This enhancement is part of theConnecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, which is a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.
The purpose of the amendment is to provide the following:
Improve public transport service to and between Oldcastle, Ballyjamesduff, Virginia and Kells
Provide a new service to Crossakiel and smaller areas of Meath and Cavan counties
Increase the number of departures per day and improve the hours of operation of the 187 service with a new, more legible timetable.
The service is proposed to be amended in mid-2024.
Proposal
The NTA proposes to amend Route 187 as follows:
Route 187 would be revised to operate between Virginia and Kells via Crossakiel, Oldcastle and Ballyjamesduff. The service would no longer operate along the N3. See Map 1.
All journeys would serve Kells, Crossakiel, Oldcastle and Ballyjamesduff.
Some journeys would operate between Oldcastle and Ballyjamesduff via Mount Nugent, whereas some others would operate via Castlerahan.
Monday to Sunday, Route 187 would operate 6 journeys per day from Kells to Virginia and 5 journeys per day from Virginia to Kells.
As a consequence of the proposals:
Route 187 would no longer operate along the N3 between Kells and Virginia, meaning some passengers will need to use Route 109X instead
Some passengers could experience longer journey times, whereas others could experience shorter journey times
The new timetable would affect all existing Route 187 passengers
