AN hourly train between Dublin and Belfast could be in operation at peak times by as early as next spring.

Northern transport agency Translink revealed the plans as the Enterprise service celebrates its 75th anniversary.

The 1947 inaugural train was operated by the Great Northern Railway company. It is now jointly operated by Translink NI Railways and Iarnrod Eireann.

In its first year in service one train travelled in each direction.

Seventy-five years later the Enterprise service has eight daily departures in each direction.

Translink Chief Executive Chris Conway said they hoped to move towards an hourly Enterprise service soon.
