Hello everyone!
I am arriving at Dublin Airport in a couple of weeks on a weekday morning in a small group, and staying in Carrickfergus (the convenient Premier Inn) that night. I would like to try the Enterprise service, which I have never done before. We will probably have at least a few hours free to wander around the city before heading to Northern Ireland.
I was wondering if anyone can clarify or offer advice for buying tickets please. irishrail.ie offers some flexible fares for €19.99 (standard) to Belfast Lanyon Place, are these available to buy walk-up, or quota controlled? I have not been able to find any way of booking Dublin to Carrickfergus, does this exist please? I note that the journey in the other direction can be booked at translink.co.uk. I can see there is a semi-flexible fare that is just one euro cheaper, and a fixed one just one euro cheaper than that - these do not seem much worth bothering with for such a small saving! I am not too fussed about having reserved seating, but if we do get the 1650 departure from Dublin Conolly would there be a risk of finding it full? How is the onboard catering on the route? I have heard stories that it can be a bit poorly stocked, would you get food before boarding?
Thanks a lot everyone
