1) How far from Belfast is Newtownabbey? And which bus do I get to get there?

2) Which bus can I get down to Armagh?

3) Which pub (s) would be best to visit?

4) I'll have a good bit of free time so what else is good to visit or do?

1) As far as I know, you get the 2D service and it should take over half an hour, depending were you're getting it from.

2) 250 or 271 iirc although you can check at the station in case it's changed.

3) Where? Belfast has good/decent bars such as Lavery's and one across from Great Victoria Street, I'm sure about in Newtownabbey/Armagh.

4) Link

If you're on it, it may be advised to tweet Translink to be sure in case the bus services I gave you is wrong.

I have no clue as to how I'm going to get to Dublin from Armagh on Sunday. I'm supposed to be staying with my uncle in Dublin cos he's driving to Kerry the day after but with all these road closures I think I'm going to be stranded in Armagh.

Perfect, thanks. Do all the buses leave from the Europa bus station or is there more bus stations?

You can get a train to County Armagh but not the town itself. Armagh used to have a station but it closed in 1957.

Bus sorted from Armagh to Newry. I think buses will go from Newry to Dublin - its all motorway and I'm almost sure the Giro isn't traveling via the motorway. Tweeted translink anyway on twitter just to make sure

Finished my 3rd day of 10-hour shifts in my new workplace, hearing the soundtrack of Frozen for hours on end is fucking doing my head in.

Fuck Frozen, fuck the people trying to milk this shit dry, and fuck the parents who are willing to spend good money on its merchandise.

But not the ridiculous merch that has come out - 'essential guides', novelisations, sticker books, soundtracks (with foreign language covers), heck we have 6 copies of the novelisation which we can't sell because parents have been calling in to reserve copies, and still there are parents coming in to ask for copies, for their children who have most likely already watched the fucking movie.

I dunno, probably an overraction and whatever, but fuck Disney.

Yeah I understand it's stupid people going crazy for merch. I see one story about a women in America driving like 2 hours and paid like 500 for a 20 item for her daughter.
