Service
On Mondays to Fridays, there is a half-hourly service from Belfast Central. These trains alternate every half an hour between terminating here at Carrickfergus, and continuing on to Larne Harbour. There are extra trains to Whitehead at peak times. In the other direction, there is a half-hourly service to Belfast Central, with the trains alternating between being through services from Larne, or starting at Carrickfergus. Some early morning services run through to Great Victoria Street.
On Saturdays, the service still runs half-hourly in the same alternating manner, except all Belfast-bound trains terminate at Great Victoria Street rather than Belfast Central.
On Sundays, the service runs every hour and a half in either direction. All trains on Sundays run between Great Victoria Street and Larne Harbour.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“The master class seldom lose a chance to insult a woman who has the ability for something besides service to his lordship.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I can counterfeit the deep tragedian,
Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
Are at my service like enforced smiles,
And both are ready in their offices
At any time to grace my stratagems.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
