Route 163 will now operate six daily return services Monday to Sunday with a new low-floor accessible bus, meaning the service now runs approximately every two hours between 8am and 6pm.

Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Louth Meath Fingal Manager Richie Sheehy said: “We are happy to introduce this enhanced and extended service. It will offer increased frequency and capacity and with interchangeability with Route 188. It provides greater access for our local communities in rural areas from the Athboy and the Navan side to the Brú na Bóinne and Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centres and will give those passengers connectivity to St Mary’s Hospital and Drogheda Railway station.”
