You could quite comfortably walk it in around 20 minutes.

Done it before myself, nice wee walk along the Quayside!


[edit]
Just read on the 02 site that a shuttle bus runs from Amiens st (which is right beside Bus Aras) straight to the 02

Don't totally give up on the train - my DH and DS went down last Sunday for Top Gear Live and I tried to book train online and was given message sold out but when I rang Translink they said only a certain amount of tickets at the promotion price were available on line and they should still be able to pay normal price (still only £18 return) on the day, but not able to pre book standard seats so just turn up. They did so and had no trouble getting seats. May be worth you ringing to check postion for this weekend.

big group of us going down on thursday for depeche mode, but only some of us have the pre booked online tickets, but as mentioned they still have tickets onsale as they cant really sell all the seats online due to people not having access to internet + business travellers etc so just turn up nice and early and u should be able to get a ticket
