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:
“Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
