Bus Éireann Route Changes Reshape Kerry to Limerick Timetables
Bus Éireann has announced a comprehensive timetable revision for its Kerry to Limerick services, taking effect Sunday, October 25th. The adjustments alter departure times, introduce a new university campus stop, and withdraw several low-demand services across Route 13 and Route 14 to improve overall punctuality and reflect actual road conditions.
Timetable Revisions Target Traffic and Punctuality
Bus Éireann is overhauling its Route 13 Tralee to Limerick and Route 14 Killarney to Limerick schedules to combat delays caused by road traffic. Expressway is building extra running time into multiple trips along the corridor to stabilize the daily schedules. The adjustments follow capacity issues reported last month. Bus Éireann told Radio Kerry that it was closely monitoring passenger numbers after dozens of commuters were left stranded in Tralee due to fully booked services.
University Connectivity and New Sunday Departures
Students and staff at Munster Technological University will see direct schedule changes on weekdays. The company is adding a designated stop at the MTU Kerry North campus on the weekday 6 PM Tralee to Limerick bus. Weekend travelers gain a new option on Sunday mornings. Route 13 will introduce an 8 AM departure from Tralee to Limerick, expanding early-day choices for passengers traveling between the two counties.
Withdrawn Services and Cancelled Departures
Several weekday and weekend runs are disappearing from the timetables under the October 25th update. The withdrawn weekday services include the 11:40 AM Abbeyfeale to Tralee bus and the 6 PM Killarney to Abbeyfeale route. Sunday schedules face larger reductions. Bus Éireann is cutting the 7 PM Tralee to Limerick service, the 8:35 PM Limerick to Tralee bus, and the 21:40 Tralee to Killarney run entirely.
