The drivers are pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient, and will provide you with any information you need of the local area.The cars are of a good standard, and they also will provide a pre booking service that a lot of the larger firms will not do these days, which is great to avoid those nights when the rain is lashing and you just want to get home, nearly burn whatever drunken food you have when you get home and fall asleep on a pile of clothes on the floor in peace!

When we left home this morning I didn't expect to be on this diesel powered ferry. It's a first…read morefor me and likely the last; I've been in Columbia more often. My wife was on it once before. This is one of the world's shortest ferry journeys as it's about four minutes each way. The world's shortest ferry line is the Ferry Lina in Töreboda, Sweden. It takes around 20-25 seconds and is hand powered. A car with two people return is £16. The staff are very friendly, you pay aboard, we used a card on a phone and while it's roll on - roll off for vehicles it also takes foot passengers. It was very busy both ways, it holds around 25 cars and some motorcycles and it goes from Strangford where we approached it on the hour and half hour and from Portaferry quarter to and quarter past the hour.

This little ferry is an absolute wonder. I don't think it has changed at all since I was a child…read more It's basically a very small car ferry which travels back and forward across Strangford Lough between Portaferry and Strangford. The journey is slow and relaxed and as you're only going a very short distance across the Lough (less than a mile) it only takes about 10 minutes. The ferry runs every half hour every day except Christmas Day, except when the weather is too stormy. You drive your car up a little ramp and leave it parked on the small deck. It costs just over a fiver to go across one way and on a sunny day you get a fabulous view of the Lough and the coast line on both sides. Travelling across Strangford by ferry is such a novelty, both adults and kids will love it and if you're cutting across the Lough for practical reasons rather than driving round, you'll save over an hour and 75 miles on your journey.

Ulsterbus is the element of Translink which is responsible for bus transportation all around…read moreNorthern Ireland, except the centre of Belfast. The buses are instantly recognisable by their light blue and white design, and come in two different sizes. The regular buses are those which transport people between two different towns / cities, for example Belfast and Bangor, Bangor and Newtownards. The smaller, 'easybus' style buses are town service buses, and usually transport people around a single town, such as Newtownards or Comber. Some towns (such as Bangor) use the larger buses. You will now see why, for a good few years, my dad used to 'rake' (make fun of in Northern Irish speak) me about my knowledge of buses. I was, on occasion referred to as a 'walking timetable', and if any enquiry in relation to buses should arise, the 'raking' was taken further, with my dad insisting that I be asked. Being the fount of bus knowledge, you see. Ok, so it wasn't entirely unwarranted, and I did take an interest in buses (only mildly...I'm certainly no equivalent to those strange trainspotters, honest), but this was only because I did enjoy a good bus journey. And I still do. Sad I know, but since I do not drive, I have become heavily reliant on these wonderful modes of transportation. No really, they're not all that bad! I know buses have are reputed for being late, but Ulsterbus is usually a very reliable service, and the prices are still pretty decent despite having risen twice the past couple of years. Despite this, a good tip is to by a Smartlink card (available at the main bus stations - Laganside, Europa and the like), and top it up with a certain number of journeys (10, 20 or 40). They work out a whole lot cheaper than buying an actual bus journey on the day, and you simply place your card on the reader above the ticket machine each time you hop on the bus, and that's you done. Simples (to quote the infamous and most wonderful Aleksandr the Meerkat). Eh, I reckon that'll do. Before I start looking like a super nerd. Though it's quite possibly far too late for that...

As with any well established company it must be good at what it does to have been running for so long. This company is very dependable and anyone in the area who needs to hire a coach or a mini bus for any reason generally calls on Bangor Coach Travels. They will cater for most occasions including stag and hen parties as well as football trips which I have experienced one or two of. The Buses and coaches are generally well maintained and are obviously well loved and looked after because they are always spotless after use. Prices are really competitive and you will be sure to get a good deal at Bangor Coach Travel.

It's not the closest station to me, but it's the most comfortable, where I get to sit indoors, instead of freezing at a halt. The view of the outside of the station has remained unchanged for over 100 years. There is an old photograph of the station taken in the 1800's, you can see people in the picture in Victorian type clothing, but the station looks exactly the same as it does today. The inside, thankfully, has changed! In the early 2000's, a lot of money was spent giving it a spruce up, and making the seating area enclosed from the platform, making it a lot more warm and comfortable. There are restroom facilities, and a little shop and bookstore, which is really a newsagents, but they do some hot food that you can heat up in the microwave provided. They also have a book case, so if you have a long wait, you can take one of the books free of charge to while away the time.
