Enterprise rail link between Belfast and Dublin marks 75 years

He said there were "ambitious plans" to develop the service in the next decade.

A display of photographs from the past 75 years is going on display in Belfast at the Lanyon Place station and in Dublin's Connolly Street station. At the same time the rail link between Belfast and Dublin was used as part of efforts to end the violence by campaigners who organised Dublin-to-Belfast "Peace Trains".

Translink_NI 75 years and 5 minutes quicker...Innovation NI standards or what 😔

Translink_NI And while you talk about this, where do you stand on JusticeforNoah and the fight his poor mother FIONADONOHOE2 is having with Belfast police to get access to the files? The whole investigation is dodgy and people around the world are watching. Please add your support 🙏

Translink_NI Unionist politicians were no friend of it's existence apparently. What a surprise. Not like them to be saying no.

Translink_NI Rail infrastructure in Northern Ireland.. is a joke..a national embarrassment

Translink_NI Journey takes too long, services are too infrequent and stop too early. Drove to Dublin yesterday to do something in the evening because trains stopped too early and buses took too long. Did not want to drive! And crazy that it was only option.

Translink_NI And it still takes the same time

Translink_NI Translink linking you to knowhere. Still can't get to Dublin or vice versa in under 2hours 20 mins and this is an express service. Furthermore, still insufficient number of services. Need to be brought into the 21 century.

Translink_NI The train link (long may it continue) is young at 75 as unionists and their partition stopped the railways to and from some of the counties of Ulster. Now, that wasn't progress.

Translink_NI Hope there was enough seats for everyone on board. Had to stand from Portadown to Dublin a few weeks ago and physically had to hold up my 70 year old co-traveller to stop him from falling over. Disgrace

Translink_NI Considering the number of delays & breakdowns recently I think they're still using the same trains!

Translink_NI Quicker and cheaper to drive, by European standards it's useless.

Also because of Covid and Strikes more people are finding they can work remotely or don't need public transport. Too many stop using - Job losses I haven't seen one actual real life person say they have an issue with the strikes. I'd happily be slightly inconvenienced if it meant helping my fellow man. Its all media inflammatory bollocks. All part of the climate change, covid ploy.
