The National Transport Authority has announced that the N2 orbital bus route will be launched on Sunday September 29th. The N2 bus route will run from Heuston Station to Clontarf Road Station serving:
• Blackhorse Avenue
• Nephin Road
• Broombridge
• Ballyboggan Road
• Old Finglas Road
• Griffith Avenue
• Marino
There are over a dozen primary and secondary schools and third level institutions on this route around Griffith Avenue and the Navan Road. I’ve received several queries from parents and students in recent weeks asking about this route and both myself and my colleagues Neasa Hourigan TD and Minister Roderic O’Gorman had been in touch with the NTA regularly.
The N2 will also connect with three Irish Rail stations, both Luas Red and Green lines, as well as dozens of bus services.
More details can be found on the NTA/Transport for Ireland website.
