Northern Ireland Railways operates the train services, with the cross-border
Belfast-Dublin Enterprise express train run jointly with
Iarnrod Eireann, the Irish Republic?s state-owned rail company.

Great Victoria Street Station (alongside
Europa Buscentre), are the main railway terminals in the Northern Ireland capital.
