its sad to say this but the best service I've had on the northern line was when the malahide aquaduct was out of action... Purely because of the bus service using the m1 and port tunnel.
Now that newry is close to being bypassed and and as new stretches of the A1 open, the trip to belfast will be much faster and eventually leading to a much better bus service. I don't know how Irish Rail/Translink will be able to "compete" with this unless something radical is done. I know thanks to the recent Irish Rail timetable changes, I'll be switching to the bus for my morning journey soon.
