Enterprise train travelling between Belfast and Dublin
Translink has announced timetable enhancements coming into effect for Enterprise train passengers from Monday 26 August 2024.
These changes come to facilitate the new hourly Enterprise timetable commencing later this autumn.
The announcement will be welcomed by regular Enterprise service users between Belfast and Dublin, with Belfast customers having to be transferred from Belfast Lanyon Place to Newry train station, due to the line closure between Lanyon Place and Lisburn.
Translink’s Group Chief Executive Chris Conway explained:
“From Monday 26 August, services (currently operating as a bus substitution between Lanyon Place and Newry) will leave Belfast on the hour, every two hours, Monday to Saturday from 6.00am, while trains leaving Dublin Connolly station will depart at ten to the hour, with the first train at 6.50am.
“This is great news for passengers travelling to Dublin for work or meetings, as the first train from Belfast will arrive into Dublin at 8.16am.
“In addition, the Sunday schedule is being enhanced, with two additional trains in each direction, moving to a two hourly schedule between 8.05am and 8.05pm from Belfast and between 8.50am and 8.50pm from Dublin.
“There’s good news too for Newry passengers, with two additional trains operating to and from Dublin Monday to Friday from 26 August. The 8.14am Dundalk to Dublin Connolly will depart from Newry at 7.53am and the 5.50pm Dublin to Dundalk will extend to Newry.
“Together with our service delivery partners, Iarnrod Eireann, we are committed to developing and enhancing Enterprise services, to provide a high-quality customer journey experience for everyone. There has been strong passenger growth in recent years as more people choose this flagship service as the cleaner, greener option to access this vital economic corridor.
“Later this Autumn, we look forward to relocating the service to the world class new Grand Central Station and introduction of hourly services that will further encourage more people to leave their cars at home and use public transport”, Chris concluded.
