Through tickets to the North
Hello all (1st post),
I live in England and am coming back to Ireland for New Year to visit family. I am using a Rail&Sail ticket as far as Dublin but need to get an onward ticket to a NI Railways station (not on Enterprise route). I can see that there are discounted through tickets available on the Translink website between NIR and IR stations but these can only be booked in that direction (i.e. North to South). I can't see anything on the IR website about through tickets or at least you can't select non Enterprise stations to buy online. Can I just show up at Connolly Street and buy one of these. The disadvantage being that the Translink website appears to have a discount for ordering online. |
Through tickets are available from all booking offices to all stations in Northern Ireland.
Ticket machines at Connolly, Drogheda and Dundalk will issue tickets to all Northern Irish stations also Booking is only possible Dublin - Belfast, reservations are not supported Belfast Dublin Despite what it might say Northern Ireland Railways does not offer reservations on any standard class tickets it might issue and there are strange conditions attached. London - Holyhead - Dublin - NI should be possible by Sail Rail as one ticket |

You can get a seat reservation from Irish Rail on a booking originating in Dublin, including a return journey.
London Terminals to Belfast NI via Holyhead is £44 single £88 return either Irish Ferries or Stena. It's available on a walk-up basis until the new year. £4 supplement each way if you use Lynx, £5 each way to use Swift. You can't mix and match ferry companies. |

I have managed to pay an excess on my ticket to get it extended to Ballymoney. I don't have a reservation for the Enterprise, which hasn't been a problem in the past (admittedly a few years ago) . Unless things have changed I can't see that being a problem next Tuesday morning. What do you think?

Wouldn't expect any problems, likely to be very quiet
