Actually might be taking this in a few months when I visit friends in NL, so this should be fun coming from the United States! Loved all the Trek references too!

There is an escalator just beyond the stairs you came up. Funnily enough, many younger commuters seem totally unaware the stairs you found even exist.

The warp speed joke at 3:45 had me unexpectedly laughing more than I have in the last while, great video, thanks for uploading!

Well having read the comments all I can say is that that video boldy went where no video has before.

Not a Star Trek fan, but I got all the references and puns which I'll treasure and Clingon to for a long time!. I guess with a name like yours, you'll be a sucker for train trips! I do love your delivery and sense of humour, it made made the two and a quarter hour journey seem less than 15 minutes. Nice video, but time for me to phaser out!

Happy to be a new subscriber to your excellent channel! I'm not a Trekkie, but as a lover of puns, I really appreciated all the great laughs along the way!

Loved all the puns 😂 lovely video as always! I really must get this up to Belfast sometime, I’ve never been.

Brilliant video! I have to say, these are some of the best trip reports from over here that I've seen! Many people butcher pronunciations but I've noticed you seem to be quite good at our baffling place names, so thank you very much for that! 😅

I travel on the Enterprise all the time and I love it. The trains are lovely to travel on however NIR & Irish Rail are now planning to order new trains which are expected to replace the currently 201 Class & De Dietrich stock around 2026 - 2027. Also catering services are now fully back up and running. Speed restrictions on both sides of the boarder does make the journey seem slow at times especially around Dublin as the Enterprise gets held up a lot by Dart trains thankfully around Belfast NIR normally give the enterprise priority over local trains. NIR's DMU rolling stock are 3000 & 4000 Class units built by caf in Spain. The 3000s date from 2004 & 4000s from 2011. Great video by the way

A welcome surprise and good fun.

I went on the Enterprise a few years ago for work reasons. What I remember of it was that it was an enjoyable trip. Having never been up North in my life, l knew the minute I seen the Union Jack on peoples houses that I had crossed the border. I was only in Belfast for a day, but would of liked to have seen more. Enjoyed your video. Thank you
