Belfast to Sligo

[MysteryMachine2]

This weekend coming (ie the Setanta Cup weekend) I'll be stuck in Belfast and probably won't have a chance of getting back to Sligo for the Cliftonville match. Have to try anyway though... Is there maybe a bus i could jump in the afternoon or am I fighting a losing battle here?:confused:

I don't think there are any direct public transport routes. They go via Dublin I believe.

your joking right ! Why would a bus going to Sligo from Belfast go via Dublin.
Time to get the map of Ireland out.

Ulsterbus/BusEireann leave Belfast at 3.05 getting into Sligo at 6.55, tight going for the match!

You're going through Enniskillen. So best bet is check Belfast to Enniskillen,

and Enniskillen to Sligo with Bus Erieann.

Because the times don't match up searching Belfast to Enniskillen direct might not be the best bet

Ya ive done it a few times before, Belfast to Enniskillen on that Northern Bus Company then Enniskillen to Sligo on Bus Eireann.
You dont have to go through Dublin, thats just bonkers.

Try a Cliftonville forum and see if any of their fans are running a bus to the game. Probably unlikely but worth a shot.

The only bus that I know of is going for the weekend but try ILS forum. Someone might give you a lift.

[MysteryMachine2]

yeah I'm giving the ILS forum a go allright. Might be lucky.

Beware, by the time you get to sligo you'll be questioning your mental health if you go with that lot.
