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:
“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
