Portadown’s Enterprise temporary terminus is through on Sunday

Ireland’s prestige cross-border rail service, branded as the Enterprise, connects the capital of the Irish Republic, Dublin, with the equally populous capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast. Except, for the past few months, it hasn’t. Work on the new station at Belfast Grand Central has meant extensive track works. That has meant a closure and a replacement bus, all the way from Belfast, 35 miles (56km) to the next suitable station. It’s made a temporary terminus out of the modestly impressive Portadown Train Station.
