Sampling The Cross Border X1 Belfast To Dublin | Translink Goldline 

Thanks for a great little video; I definitely want to try this route soon.

Very helpful thank you ❤

Wasn't expecting you to do the X1 which I often get as my other half is from Northern Ireland. I often travel on those SC5 B11R's and I'm no stranger to the ones you got to Dublin & Belfast (1126 & 1122). The ALX400 you saw at the Airport is one of the around 15 left in the fleet. Hope you enjoyed Dublin and snapping the fleet since we've quiet a unique fleet to the UK!

that Volvo B11R Sunsundegui must have been brilliant

Amazing video! I got the X1 aswell last week, but going to Belfast.

I now drive these coaches on the X1 Dublim via bandbridge and newry

My first time to Dublin also I to took X1 my bus stopped off at airport flet nice to see also flet like your were going on holiday lol the worset part for me was finding the bus station to get the X1 back to belfast as I got lost in Dublin couldn't remember where bus station was most people weren't really helpful either so I may go back to Dublin are not

Thank you for reaching out. You should have connected with me sooner! Thanks for sharing.

I'm flying into Dublin on Tuesday and am getting the x1 from the airport to belfast. I normally use the aircoach but because our flight gets in late, the x1 was my only choice. I'm glad you've shown the fact that there's a charging port as when I arrive in Belfast I will need to get my taxi and I'm sure my charge will almost be finished with all the travelling. Also sorry if I missed it, does the x1 have WiFi?

How did you find the trip mate? It must have been very long from Belfast to Dublin that's like 101 miles so it is

Aircoach do have a Belfast base for the 705X service but Dublin based coaches will show up on the serivce if belfast are short of a coach or breakdown cover also ulsterbus also take £ and Euro's if you buy from the driver but not if you buy online from the Translink Website. the driver is issued with a Company Phone to Scan the QR Code as your ticket is for the Serivce you book ulsterbus will be replacing them Ticket machines sometime during 2022 they currently use the TGX150 but metro have as of Monday 28th of march 2022 started using the wayfare 6 ticket machines. the metro and Ulsterbus fleet apart form the Goldline coaches have seat belts are they would do schools work where they are required

You need to visit Dublin. I was there last week probably when you were there, and it's a bus spotters dream. Well, if you like Wrightbus Gemini 2's and 3''s and Alexander Dennis Enviro400's. No more Bombardeers in Dublin... They have hundreds of Gemini's though. As the Republic of Ireland and the UK have agreed a 'common travel area', you don't actually need a passport to visit Dublin. Just valid ID. It was £38 from Leeds/Bradford to Dublin airport return and it's just a 40 minute flight, but Ryanair site still requires you to enter passport details for you to advance. I stayed 2 nights in a hotel at Beresford Place in Dublin, across the road from the coach terminus you arrived at in Dublin on the X1, last Tuesday and Wednesday. At Dublin airport, theres a shop that sells tickets for 3.30 Euro and that gives you 90 minutes unlimited travel from the first bus you catch so easy and cheap to get into Dublin centre. Although if you have the exact fare in Euros, you don't need a pre-paid ticket. You can pay on the bus but you need exact fare. It's been decades since I've seen buses with hoppers and notices demanding 'Exact Fare Only'... Come on TFI, invest in contactless technology... From the airport, head into Dublin on the No 16 Bus heading to Ballinteer which travels via O'Connell Street smack bang in the centre of Dublin. This journey itself takes you through the suburbs of Dublin and is better than the open top bus tour. At O'connell Street, you get off after 45 minute journey close to the spire. There. You've no excuse not to visit Dublin now... Oh, Did you find 'The Silver Penny' Wetherspoons in Dublin. It was 5 minutes from the X1 coach terminus.

Why does the X1 from Belfast to Dublin not allow people to get off at Newry? Yet people can get on

If we travel by bus there will be immigration office on the way or not? If I don't have an Ireland visa can I travel from Belfast to Dublin by bus without any problem

It's a digrace yous don't pull into dundalk or drogheda this was done because it was too bother for the drivers braching off the motorway and getting stuck in traffic

Hello i just wanna ask if there are passport control/check if will travel from belfast to dublin?

Hi can we travel inside dublin without a visa coming from belfast via aircoach bus?

Good video but 2things 1 how much did it cost 2do you have to get out you passport

Do you need to book in advance to get on the x1 or can u buy on the bus

They're all set down only after Dublin Airport heading to Belfast.

Habitual coach guides sit at front of coach!

Did you get your passport checked? I’d love to do this route

Is there a toilet on board the X1 coach?

Do they have your passports checked?
