Rosslare will see Changes to Bus Services in 2023.

Wexford Bus has made the decision to no longer operate the 878 service between Wexford and Rosslare Strand from January 8^th 2023.  This decision was made in the knowledge that all communities currently being served on this route will have an alternative regular bus service.  The government subsidised 387 Local Link service will be the alternative bus provider for those travelling to/from Rosslare Strand.  Prior to the decision to cease operating services to Rosslare, Wexford Bus was in discussions with the National Transport Authority and Local Link in relation to Local Link’s increasing the frequency of services on this route.

“Wexford Bus has been privileged to operate a bus service between Wexford and Rosslare Strand since 1996 and have enjoyed great support from customers throughout the years. Our decision to leave Rosslare was not taken lightly, but we believe the wider area will benefit from this decision as it is agreed that the frequency of the Local Link service will increase to fill the gaps in Rosslare while our resources will be moved over to provide an increased number of services on our Wexford to Kilmore Quay routes.” Commented Brendan Crowley, Managing Director, Wexford Bus. “Wexford Bus currently has the contract to operate the 387 Route on behalf of Local Link, so for now we will still see many of our customers in Rosslare.  We wish to thank all the customers in the Rosslare Strand area that travelled with Wexford Bus since we started serving this community.” Concluded Brendan.

Passengers from the Piercestown and Johnstown castle areas that previously travelled on the Route 878 bus service will be facilitated on the Wexford Bus 390 Route operating between Wexford and Kilmore Quay up to 6 times daily. For Kilmore Quay timetable details see here
