Current Service
From Monday to Friday, there is a half-hourly Larne Line service, with the outbound terminus alternating between Carrickfergus and Larne Harbour every half an hour. All inbound Larne Line services terminate at Belfast Central, except for some peak-time services which continue through to Great Victoria Street.
Larne Line services on Saturday are much the same, except that all inbound trains terminate at Great Victoria Street rather than Belfast Central except for a few early morning or late night services which terminate at Belfast Central. On Sundays, the service runs every hour and a half each way between Larne Harbour and Great Victoria Street.
Weekday services on the Belfast-Derry Line also call at Yorkgate on a bi-hourly basis. Due to current maintenance works (expected to last until April 2013), most Derry Line trains run from Portrush to Great Victoria Street and vice versa, however some outbound services run to Coleraine instead, and some early morning inbound services only run to Belfast Central. Some extra services run to and from Ballymena at peak times.
On Saturdays, there is a slightly reduced number of trains, however the Derry Line service remains largely similar. On Sundays, only five Derry Line trains run in each direction, terminating at Portrush or Great Victoria Street respectively, with one extra train running as an express between here and Coleraine.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or service:
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
