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
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.
