Goldline Phase II
- Further Goldline Express service enhancements were introduced during 2005, as new Goldline vehicles were brought into service.
- These incorporate more frequency on key routes including:
- a half hourly service between Belfast and Newry,
- an hourly service between Belfast and Dublin and
- a 15 minute peak service between Belfast and L/Derry (30 minutes off peak).
- These changes have been very successful and passenger numbers continue to grow strongly.
- The number of passengers using Goldline services has increased by 20% since initial service enhancements in 2004. Frequencies will increase further on a phased basis.
