We are excited to announce that we will be streamlining the 717 Clonmel–Dublin service, a measure that will enhance your travel experience and speed up your journey!
Introducing Kilkenny MacDonagh Station!
Starting April 7th, 2025, our 717 route will proudly serve Kilkenny MacDonagh Station. This new stop places you right in the heart of Kilkenny’s vibrant city centre while also offering faster, more direct connections to Dublin City and the Airport.
Streamlining Our Services for Speed
We have also made a number of key route adjustments to ensure our passengers can get from A to B more quickly. While we’ve had to say goodbye to several intermediate stops, we believe these changes will benefit most passengers. With that in mind, the following stops will no longer be served:
- Naas (Poplar Pharmacy, Post Office)
- Kilcullen (The Hideout)
- Athy (The Castle Inn / Woodstock)
- Ballylynan (The Old Church)
- Newtown Cross (Opp. R430 Jn)
- Crettyard (Southbound Bus Stop)
- Castlecomer (Harringtons Bookmakers)
- Kilkenny (Newpark Hotel / Glendine Inn)
While we realise these changes may be disruptive to some, these changes will no doubt deliver a faster, more consistent, and altogether more extra-ordinary journey for the vast majority of our passengers.
We’re Here to Support You!
Our dedicated team is ready to assist you through this transition. Whether you have questions about alternative services or need help navigating these changes, we’ve got your back! Stay tuned for regular updates on our website as we monitor developments closely and work to minimise disruptions.
Thank You for Your Trust!
Your confidence fuels our commitment to excellence, and these enhancements are our way of continuing our effort to repay that trust. By providing you with a more convenient and efficient travel experience, we’re making sure every journey with JJ Kavanagh is one you can rely on.
Here’s to more extra-ordinary journeys ahead!
