tartan army gal Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, just wondering if there is anyone one else is on the 11.30am Ferry from Cairnryan on the Friday. If so, do you have any plans for getting to Dublin? Trains aren't great :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloakenny Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I am on a letter ferry however I plan on getting the air coach to Dublin. It's £19 return, runs every hour, doesn't stop and is quicker and cheaper than the train. Website is air coach.ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StranraerScotty Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 No chance of drink on as a foot passenger. Could maybe manage it if your on a bus. Security will be all over football fans like a rash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumAyr Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Bit of a pain, we're on the coach from Ayr to Cairnryn then our coach is taking us to Dublin, want to keep my carryout on the bus so I don't need tio run to a shop in Belfast to buy some. Should be ok if we get the driver to fire it underneath the bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be ok if we get the driver to fire it underneath the bus? Is this the Citylink service? If so the bus doesn't get on the boat, it drops you at Cairnryan and you get on as a foot passanger, bus then picks you up in Belfast runs you to the Europa bus centre where you get the normal Dublin bus. Depending if you have time there is a Tescos on Great Victoria street outside the Europa and an off license in the side street next to the Crown Bar on great Victoria Street.

humey15 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If they search your bag on the boat can they take sealed bottles of spirits off you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
