That is a shame Osc but bus transfers are a nightmare, I'd postpone it too x

Saundra they had them for a year while work was done at Southampton, the road journey's awful and took over an hour each way instead of 15-20 mins, plus having to wait till the bus was full, it's no fun at all, especially if you don't need to do it

Ossie, we don't have the card for travel within NI, but we can use our Irish pass to travel direct between Dublin and Belfast. Yes our free travel here is great, the one thing us pensioners like about getting old :lol:

Saundra, Di is right, it's just too much hassle (even without luggage Ria) - on the bus you are at the mercy of traffic, roadworks, traffic lights etc., we will do it another time.

Yes, it's one thing to put up with rail transfers on an essential journey, quite another when it's supposedly for fun ;)
