The service will run twice a week, on Thursdays and Saturdays and previously carried 15,000 passengers back and forward every year before Covid put paid to the route.
Customers check-in from 7:15pm at Busáras, and arrive into Victoria Coach station the following morning at 8am.
Customers can also bring on one suitcase for free, with additional charges for more luggage, but Bus Éireann promise "generous baggage allowances" for those " who need to travel with several bags.
"We’re especially pleased to reinstate the service for those passengers who we know rely exclusively on Expressway Eurolines for travel between Ireland and the UK," said Bus Eireann's Head of Expressway Andrew Yates.
"For people who are unable to, or don’t want to fly, whether for environmental, financial, medical or other reasons, these services provide an essential alternative, travelling on our top end new coaches with extra comfortable seating."
