Travel to Donegal in style with McGinley Coaches

McGINLEY Coach Travel has announced the return of its popular summer service from Glasgow City Centre to County Donegal, offering passengers a seamless and stress-free way to travel across the water.

Operating as a full ‘through journey,’ the service allows passengers to remain on the same coach for the entire trip, eliminating the need for transfers or disembarking to board the ferry. At a time when air travel can often involve long queues, strict security checks, and tight baggage restrictions, this traditional coach and ferry option provides a refreshing and hassle-free alternative.

Departing from Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow, the route connects with the Stena Line ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast before continuing through Derry, Letterkenny, and onwards to West Donegal.

“It’s great to be offering this service once again,” James McGinley, Managing Director, of McGinley Coach Travel said, expressing his enthusiasm for the relaunch. “Passengers can travel in more comfort than ever before. We have invested heavily in upgrading our fleet with a range of new Volvo coaches. This, coupled with the comfort and facilities onboard the Stena Line vessels, makes for a relaxing and enjoyable journey between two fantastic destinations.

“Importantly, passengers can avoid the usual airport experience—no long security lines, no worries about liquids or baggage limits and no rushing through terminals. Instead, they can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey from start to finish.”

With the traditional summer influx of visitors from Scotland to Donegal fast approaching, McGinley Coach Travel is once again providing an ideal option for those seeking convenience, comfort and flexibility, whether planning ahead or booking at short notice.

As a through service, passengers board once and remain with the same coach until they reach their destination, ensuring a smooth and straightforward travel experience.

All fares include both coach travel and ferry crossing, along with a generous baggage allowance, giving passengers the freedom to pack without the usual airline restrictions, and even bring home a little extra from their trip.
