About to depart Stranraer ferry terminal for London in December 2001 is Ulsterbus 1659 (BCZ1659). Freshly delivered 1660 (BCZ1660) departs Digbeth Coach Station in Birmingham on the day service to Belfast in March 1999.
Since 1975 an express coach service has operated between Belfast and London using the Stranraer to Larne ferry.   Many companies have served on the route including National Travel, Dodds of Troon, Western SMT and Ulsterbus.   However as of January 2002 Stagecoach Western withdrew from the route and transferred its three coaches to Fife.   This has left Ulsterbus as the sole operator on the service using four Plaxton/Volvos in Eurolines livery based at their own depot in Stranraer, an outstation of Glengall Street in Belfast.
