Dublin Connolly - Belfast, live in Balbriggan

    I want to book return ticket from Dublin Connolly - Belfast.

    I live in Balbriggan. This train passes through but doesn't stop at Balbriggan.

    Is it possible to print my ticket at machine in Balbriggan, then use this ticket to get train from there to Drogheda, then catch my train to Belfast at Drogheda station?

    Hope this makes sense?

    Why are you booking from Connolly. Just book from Balbriggan and change at Drogheda.

    It wont let me online for some reason? Balbriggan to Belfast - Just a red X where the fare total should be, but it will give me an online fare from Heuston or Drogheda.

    Yep. You are right. Another anomaly. Your only alternative is to show up in Balbriggan and buy the ticket manually at the ticket office. Online isn't an option.

    I remember back in 2007, the website listed the Sallins - Cork journey with one change and that change was in Heuston! No probs as it was before the commuter service was reconfigured to run to Portlaoise. But we were still chastised at Heuston, eventhough we had bought the tickets for Cork on the commuter train to Heuston! Got a right dressing down from a member of staff at the gate, who hadn't a clue how his rail service actually worked.

    Are we there yet? No.:D

    Yes you can, but in all fairness the OP should be able to buy the total journey ticket online.
