Great Victoria Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland, is a separate country from The Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland is a part of the UK, United Kingdom in the north-east of the island of Ireland. Since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, Northern Ireland is largely self-governing.
Belfast is the capital of, and largest city in, Northern Ireland. Belfast has been the capital of Northern Ireland since its establishment in 1921 following the Government of Ireland Act 1920. It had been the scene of various episodes of sectarian conflict between its Catholic and Protestant populations. These opposing groups in this conflict are now often termed republican and loyalist respectively, although they are also referred to as 'nationalist' and 'unionist'.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, a legal centre, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland.

My first visit to Belfast so I had to get some footage of Northern Ireland Railways in action! I filmed at Botanic, Belfast Central and Great Victoria Street stations. Managed to catch lots of Class 3000's & 4000's as well as an Enterprise service arriving at Central from Dublin.
Was surprised to hear the same announcer at Belfast Central as you hear around England. Certainly took me by surprise when I first heard it. Haha
So there you have it, my first railway video from Northern Ireland,
thanks for watching!

Riding the Belfast to Dublin Enterprise Train
The Enterprise Train is the cross-border service between Belfast and Dublin, and is jointly operated by Iarnród Éireann (IE) and NI Railways (Translink). It operates on the Belfast–Dublin railway line.
After we'd finished All The Stations Ireland, we came home by taking the train back to Dublin (and the boat back from there), but we made this quick video about being on board the Enterprise.
We also noted that all announcements are made only in English, but items available to purchase are dual priced both Pounds and Euros. There is also an accessable area with wheelchair space.

Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Lurgan is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The town is near the southern shore of Lough Neagh and in the north-eastern corner of the county. Lurgan is about 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Belfast and is linked to the city by both the M1 motorway and the Belfast–Dublin railway line. It had a population of about 23,000 at the 2001 Census. It is within the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon district.
Lurgan is characteristic of many Plantation of Ulster settlements, with its straight, wide planned streets and rows of cottages. It is the site of a number of historic listed buildings including Brownlow House and the former town hall.
Historically the town was known as a major centre for the production of textiles (mainly linen) after the industrial revolution and it continued to be a major producer of textiles until that industry steadily declined in the 1990s and 2000s. The development of the 'new city' of Craigavon had a major impact on Lurgan in the 1960s when much industry was attracted to the area. The expansion of Craigavon's Rushmere Retail Park in the 2000s has affected the town's retail trade further.
Lurgan sits in a relatively flat part of Ireland by the south east shore of Lough Neagh. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of the lough, and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of the lough. When the land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist, but later settled where the town was eventually built. The oldest part of the town, the main street, is built on a long ridge in the townland (baile fearainn) of Lurgan. A neighbouring hill is the site of Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Lurgan has historically been an industrial town in which the linen industry predominated as a source of employment during the Industrial Revolution, and is said to have employed as many as 18,000 handloom weavers at the end of the 19th century, a figure significantly higher than the town's resident population at the time.
Lurgan town centre is distinctive for its wide main street, Market Street, one of the widest in Ireland, which is dominated at one end by Shankill Church in Church Place. A grey granite hexagonal temple-shaped war memorial sits at the entrance to Church Place, topped by a bronze-winged statue representing the spirit of Victorious Peace. A marble pillar at the centre displays the names of over 400 men from the town who lost their lives in the First World War.
At the junction of Market Street and Union Street is the former Lurgan Town Hall, a listed building erected in 1868. It was the first site of the town's library in 1891, was temporarily used as a police station in 1972 when it was handed to the Police Authority, and is today owned by the Mechanics' Institute and is available for conferences and community functions.
Lurgan railway station opened by the Ulster Railway on 18 November 1841, connecting the town to Belfast Great Victoria Street in the east and Portadown and Armagh in the west. The Great Northern Railway of Ireland provided further access to the west of Ulster which was then closed in the 1950s and 1960s from Portadown railway station. Presently Lurgan railway station is run by Northern Ireland Railways with direct trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and as part of the Dublin-Belfast railway line. The Enterprise runs through Lurgan from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central, and a change of train may be required at Portadown to travel to Newry or Dublin Connolly.

Planes At Belfast City Airport & Trains At Sydenham Station 20th April 2019 HD
Here is my Easter present to you all. This is a near 45 mins long transport video of Planes Taxi-ing, Taking Off and Landing at Belfast George Best City Airport and Trains at Sydenham Station. This is probably the first proper aviation video I have done since 2014 as Sydenham Bridge gives a nice view of the planes as you will see in the video. I also filmed some local buses in the area that were passing on the big road under the bridge of various sorts.
The trains that I filmed in this video are passenger trains of the CAF built Class 3000 and Class 4000 diesel multiple units. They sound similar to the Class 172's in the mainland UK and I believe they are powered by the MTU diesel engines and have ZF transmission but i have no idea of the type. Thanks goes to the nice driver that did the horn although I was busy wafting an annoying wasp away from me as those things can pack a nasty sting given the chance.
The details of the planes are as follows. The Flybe small planes look like the Bombardier Dash 8's, the Aer Lingus and the British Airways planes are the Airbus type (not sure the exact number) and the KLM plane that packs some nice noise is an Embraer 175 that was heading to Amsterdam. I didn't see any Boeing planes there unless it was the British Airways one? I am not a knowledgable person when it comes to all types, especially as there are new aircrafts coming out that I need to learn about.
I will do shorter versions of this total video of just the trains and just the planes in separate videos later although this one is the full video of all the clips combined that I filmed.

UK: Northern Ireland Railways Class 450 'Castle' DEMU at Moira on a Larne Harbour to Portadown train
UK: A Northern Ireland Railways Class 450 'Castle' DEMU departs from Moira (County Down) on the 0615 Larne Harbour to Portadown (via Belfast, Great Victoria Street) train. Recorded 10th May 2004.

The Class 450 is a type of diesel multiple unit (DMU) formerly used by Northern Ireland Railways. They were affectionately nicknamed 'Thumpers' and 'Castles' (Also known as the Castle Class) by rail enthusiasts.
In the mid 1980s, Northern Ireland Railways was in the process of upgrading its rolling stock. Having already purchased three new locomotives, it then proceeded to purchase replacements for its Class 70 diesel multiple units. A total of nine three car trains were constructed by BREL between 1985 and 1987 intended to supplement the existing Class 80 DMUs then in service. The trains were constructed using underframes of existing Mark 1 coaching stock, altered to 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) and new Mark 3 bodyshells. Because of this, they bear a strong resemblance to the British Rail Class 150, British Rail Class 210 (based on), British Rail Class 317, British Rail Class 318 and British Rail Class 455, as they use Mark 3 bodyshells. These were combined with refurbished power units and traction motors from the withdrawn Class 70 units (there were only eight Class 70 units available to be salvaged, so the equipment for the ninth train came from a withdrawn Class 80 train, powercar 88).
The Class 450 operate along the same lines as the prototype Class 210 DMUs on the British network, in that they consist of a single power car containing the traction and generating equipment (numbered 45x), an intermediate trailer car (numbered 79x) and a driving trailer (numbered 78x) as permanently formed 3 car sets. An additional 8 has been added to the start of all the cars so that they can be used by Translink's computer system.
In 2005, the entire fleet underwent an extensive refurbishment to bring them up to a similar standard to the newly introduced Class 3000 units, enabling them to remain in service for at least another 5 to 7 years. This will take them up to the point where they are expected to become life-expired.
In 2011, the entire Class 450 fleet, together with the remaining Class 80 units, was listed by NI Railways for disposal.
The entire Class 450 fleet has now been withdrawn from service, following the arrival of enough Class 4000 units to displace the 450 units serving the Larne line and Portrush branch.

Moira is a village and civil parish in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is in the northwest of the county, near the borders with counties Antrim and Armagh. The M1 motorway and Belfast–Dublin railway line are nearby. The settlement has existed since time immemorial. In a 2008 estimate the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency approximated the population of Moira to be 4,221.
The etymology of Moira is somewhat uncertain. It seems to be an anglicisation of the Irish Maigh Rath, which may mean either 'plain of the wheels' or 'plain of the ringforts'. Another Irish form of the name is Mag Rath. The change most probably occurred during or before the Plantation of Ulster. Regardless Moira has now evolved to become both the official name and the one in everyday use.
Moira remained relatively uneventful for most of the 20th century, but did not escape The Troubles. On 20 February 1998 dissident republicans planted a 500 lb (227 kg) car bomb exploded outside the police station, injuring 11 people. The bomb was intended to kill police officers due to do a shift change. The blast was so loud that it could be heard fully twenty miles (32 km) away in Belfast. The bomb caused extensive damage, resulting in the police station and several nearby buildings having to be rebuilt. The bombing also threatened to derail the peace process at the time.

NI Railways, also known as Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) is the railway operator in Northern Ireland. NIR is a subsidiary of Translink, whose parent company is the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company. The rail network in Northern Ireland is not part of the National Rail network of Great Britain, being part of the Irish Gauge network covering the island of Ireland.
NIR jointly runs the Enterprise train service between Belfast and Dublin with Iarnród Éireann. There is no link to the rail system in Great Britain, although proposals have been made, though allowances would have to be made for the different rail gauge in use in Britain and the rest of Europe.

Office for Immediate Occupation – Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast, United Kingdom
Belfast is the capital of and the largest city in Northern Ireland. It is the seat of devolved government and legislative Northern Ireland Assembly. It is the largest urban area in Northern Ireland, the second-largest city in Ireland and the 15th-largest city in the United Kingdom. It is the main settlement in the province of Ulster. The city of Belfast has a population of 267,500 and lies at the heart of the Belfast urban area, which has a population of 483,418. The Belfast metropolitan area has a total population of 579,276. Belfast is also the 100th-largest urban zone in the EU. Belfast was granted city status in 1888. Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast, if briefly, the largest city in Ireland at the turn of the 20th century and the city's industrial and economic success was cited by Ulster unionist opponents of Home Rule as a reason why Ireland should shun devolution and later why Ulster in particular would fight to resist it.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, a legal centre, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. The city suffered greatly during the period of disruption, conflict, and destruction called the Troubles, but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth. Belfast city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, notably around Victoria Square.
Belfast is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport in the city, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city.
Belfast is also a major seaport, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard.
