Changes to the Navan–Dublin NX bus service are scheduled to take effect on Sunday, 11 October 2026. The National Transport Authority’s announcement, published on 2 October, combines more peak services with a change in the Dublin routing. For a regular passenger, the boarding location may be as important as the extra departures. [1]

The announcement lists new Navan departures at 5am and 5.20am on weekdays and a change in peak frequency from roughly every 20 minutes to every 15. The weekday qualification matters: the Sunday implementation date does not turn those two new departures into Sunday services. Check the timetable for the day of your journey. [1]

Arrival and departure use different locations

The revised service is to arrive at Moss Street in Dublin, near Tara Station. Outbound services towards Navan are to board on Pearse Street. The NX will cease travelling via Westland Row, Merrion Square and Wilton Terrace. Someone who previously used those locations should review the onward walk or connection before the first changed journey. [1]

Save separate notes for the inbound and outbound stops. A dropped pin for where you arrive is not necessarily the place you return to in the evening. If you meet someone after work or arrange a collection, share the direction-specific location rather than an old habitual stop.

Treat a new connection as a journey to check

The NTA advises passengers to consult updated journey information before travelling from 11 October. A route arriving near rail services creates a connection opportunity; it does not guarantee that a particular bus will meet a particular train. Allow for the walk between services and check both departures when planning an onward trip. [1]

For the first weekday journey, compare your usual bus with the revised timetable, identify the destination stop and check the return. Keep the operator’s current information accessible in case a saved screenshot becomes outdated.

The NTA says it will monitor the revised service after implementation. This article describes the announced change and does not claim that reliability has already improved or that The Press has travelled on the new route. [1]
