Since the demise of the train service from London to Stranraer in the early 1990's, the only public transport service from England to Northern Ireland has been the Eurolines coach service from London and Birmingham to Belfast.   The day service from Birmingham arrives at Stranraer just before overnight service departs for London.  Passengers change onto or from the ferry at Stranraer Ferry Terminal.     At Christmas the loadings are particularly heavy, requiring the operation of duplicate vehicles.   This article is a summary of these services at Christmas 2001.   22-Dec, 09h45 : Belfast - Birmingham Western  617 N617USS   22-Dec, 18h50 : Birmingham - Belfast  Ulsterbus Selwyns Wingates BCZ1659 32 352STG L998CRY   22-Dec, 19h30 : Belfast - London Ulsterbus Ulsterbus 504 DAZ5504 505 DAZ5505   23-Dec, 18h50 : Birmingham - Belfast  Western Ulsterbus Dunn Line Jacksons, Blackpool 617 N617USS 688 JAZ6688 Y62HHE R37RCW   23-Dec, 19h30 : Belfast - London G&S Travel, Ramsgate Selwyns  G378REG 65 SEL853 Ulsterbus DAZ5504 and DAZ5505.
