cheap(student) day return travel from belfast to dublin

Does anyone know the cheapest way -for a bunch
of students -to travel to Dublin for the day from Belfast...tomorrow...Easter Tuesday ?!?!?!?

There are about 8 of them needing to go to Dublin tomorrow ( tickets already bought and paid for, for 'the human body exhibition' for tomorrow) but now transport is proving a problem ( no one wants to or is confident enough to drive !!)

If they'd listen to my ( money saving) advice,and booked 3 days in advance, they might have been able to get £10 return fares online with translink...but they didnt :mad:!!!

I cant get prices online for (student) travel to Dublin from Belfast with Ulsterbus tomorrow, so any other tips or suggestions would be most welcome.

    Would the airport bus that goes to Dublin airport from Europa bus station be an option? Not sure if there is a connection (free that is) that goes into Dublin or not.

    You might have to get the train - are those special offer tickets available at the counter on the day?

    The 200 bus service from the Europa continues into Dublin from the airport.

    There are no special offers available on it as far as I'm aware, apart from probably the normal student discount. Likewise for the train - you have to book well in advance to get those.
