Hi G. It's nice to see you stretching your legs and going to Northern Ireland. I love NI and have been loads of times and the north coast is magnificent. The train ride from Coleraine to Londonderry is stunning and it runs along the coast.

[@peterrossall9399]

Enjoy Bangor. My Mammy came from there and I still have cousins and extended family over there. I don't get over anywhere near enough but I love it when I do. The people of Norn Iron are so warm and friendly so enjoy your time there.

[@owenpavey]

Good for you G! First went in 2007,Flybe from Doncaster Robin Hood on the plane you show in the montage. Flew low over the Aards Peninsula then curved around Ulster RUFCs Ravenhill Stadium for a landing at City Airport. Super easy having one single operator of public transport for trains,buses and coaches-Translink. Nice DMUs on the Bangor to Portadown Line though the not bieng allowed on the platform till the train was ready took me by suprise. Enterprise service is the best from Central station through to Newry,a good view of the Mourne Mountains on the way though the izone card doesnt cover the whole journey through to Dundalk,Drogheda & Dublin. Same DMU towards Ballymena with some spectacular coastal scenery heading into Derry. 😊

[@GLovesTrains]

I was considering riding an enterprise train but decided to do that another time when I go into Ireland 👍

[@owenpavey]

@@GLovesTrains one other thing i forgot to mention is the cliff face walk at Whitehead,a stop on the line to Carrickfergus & Larne. It was visited by Alice Roberts on the first series of the BBC's Coast Series,a Victorian attraction which had a couple of bridges forged into the rock. At the time of her visit the path bridges had been delapitated,but they have since been restored.

[@davidf4897]

I was born in Bangor and lived not far from.the station. In those days it was a thriving seaside town with holiday makers, many from Scotland during the summer months as well as day excursions from.around NI. Today, all of that buzz is gone. The council laid waste to the beachfront to build a car park and the marina. The local sea front shops and arcades are now a wasteland. Laughably, this small dying seaside town has been designated a city. You chose well with Castle Park and heading out of Bangor on the coastal path. Well done for visiting, but I wouldnt want to encourage anyone to hop on a plane to visit Bangor. Come back again and hop on a train along the scenic North Coast. Much better option.

Dam it.. wish I had of known you where coming over I would have met up with you. Bangor when I was young was The place to go for a seaside holiday and every year the Sunday School excursion was the highlight of the year. Just a one day trip but we where pretty poor so we where glad to just get that.. mother would make sandwiches for us, egg and onion plus ham and a bottle of brown lemonade and from my the station we would walk about a mile to our favourite beach called Ballyhome. There we would play in the sand and gorge ourselves on the sandwiches, then back to the train for theride home. Bangor itself has suffered an economic down turn so not all the shops are now open it’s lost that premier feeling it once had.
