NIR may have been able to send a enterprise around via the Bleach Green line so the 8:00 will be enterprise from Portadown onwards or else it means everyone on the 7:35 from Dublin has to change as well

The NIR website suggests that the 0800 is going to be a C3K all the way, with no first class and trolley only catering. 1100 from Connolly to Belfast will likely be the same. Hopefully they don't send too many more trains to GVS because it's not great for handling the number of passengers that use the Enterprise.

NI security alert delcared a hoax

Police in south Belfast investigating the discovery of a suspicious object near Botanic train station in the city have declared it a hoax.

The alarm was raised early this morning as the object was spotted on the line roughly 100m from the station.

Train services which were disrupted this morning have now returned to normal.
