Title: Questions about transport in NI (Hilden in particular)
Post by: admin on July 15, 2013, 07:40:34 PM
Hoping some of you lads can answer these...

1. Last train seems to be about 22.50 from Hilden Halt into Belfast.... is there a later local bus service?
2. Does Belfast, and by extension Hilden/Lisburn have a night bus service, running from Hilden into Belfast (Dublin's Nitelink service runs from city centre outwards, only)?
3. What would a taxi cost into Belfast?

Lisburn seem to be under the delusion that they're their own City :P

As such, they don't buy into this useful Belfast Public Transport nonsense!

If you're getting the bus you can get picked up from sprucefield (just outside lisburn) on the airport bus which runs every hour through the night.
