Dublin to Belfast journey times on the Enterprise train service are set to be reduced to under two hours.

Funding of €165m has been awarded to the service by PEACEPLUS and will support a"major transformation" of the service, which is a joint venture between Iarnród Éireann and Translink.

The existing four train sets will be replaced by eight new and modern trains, which Iarnród Éireann say will reduce journey times and improve accessibility and passenger experience. Jim Meade, the Chief Executive of Iarnród Éireann said that the new fleet will enable more people than ever to travel sustainably along the Enterprise route and"contribute to our economy, society and environment".
