Dublin Bus has issued an alert regarding a temporary stop closure on Route 53.

Due to roadworks on Terminal Road South and Alexandra Road Extension, bus stop 8358 will be unavailable for a week from Monday, February 10 to Monday, February 17.

Passengers are now being advised to use the nearby stop 8357 as an alternative, located on Breakwater Road North.

The statement reads: “We wish to advise customers that due to roadworks on Terminal Road South / Alexandra Road Extension from Monday 10 February until Monday 17 February 2025, bus stop 8358 Terminal Road South, will not be in use. 

“Please proceed to stop 8357 Breakwater Road North for your nearest stop location.”

For further updates and information, passengers can visit Dublin Bus’s social media pages on Facebook and Twitter @dublinbusnews.

Alternatively, they can contact the Dublin Bus customer service line at 0818 294015.

Passengers are being encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid any inconvenience during the roadworks period.

This comes after Dublin Bus announced a change to the final stop of one of its routes after receiving huge backlash to a proposed new plan.

In an announcement, it was revealed that the 19 bus will now be extended, terminating at a new stop.


The 19 bus will launch as part of the BusConnects E spine on January 26.

To start, every second bus during peak times, running every 20 minutes, will terminate at Merrion Square instead of Parnell Square.

This will then change to all buses on route 19 as more drivers are recruited in the coming months.

As a result, eventually every number 19 bus will terminate at Merrion Square instead of Parnell Square.

Announcing the news, Councillor for Cabra-Glasnevin Feljin Jose explained: “This will ensure that people travelling from the Home Farm Road area will not have to change buses to reach locations in the city centre’s southside.”

For passengers planning to use the new routes, there’s important information regarding the frequency of services to help you plan your trips more effectively.

Route X1 will be available during peak morning hours, running from Kilcoole to the City Centre, then making a return trip during the evening rush hour from the City Centre back to Kilcoole.

Similarly, route X2 will also offer a peak morning service (Newcastle to City Centre) and a peak evening service (City Centre to Newcastle), catering to commuters’ needs on weekdays.

MAJOR CHANGES AHEAD

Transport For Ireland said this step forward in transforming Dublin’s public transport is only one part of the BusConnects redesign that will continue to roll out over the next few years.

Each phase is set to bring new changes aimed at improving the accessibility and efficiency of Dublin’s bus network.

Passengers using the new network will also benefit from the TFI 90-Minute Fare, which allows unlimited travel on eligible routes for 90 minutes after the first touch-on.

This fare applies to all Dublin City Bus services, along with those that extend beyond Dublin.
