Sadly that seems to be the way NI works these days - no joined up thinking.:(

By the news reports today - sounds like the predictions of traffic chaos have come to pass! Do the people organising this event have any common sense at all?
So glad we decided to give it a miss this year.

Traffic chaos was inevitable if you know the roads around the area, I just wanted to make one small point that people seem to forget - there was traffic (and train) chaos when it was in the King's Hall too!

Not so much - I always took the train, got off at Balmoral, walked across the road and that was it!

Yep, and you probably had to sit on my knee whilst on the train, and messed up the schedule on the regular commuters ;-)

Wrong - always got a seat and travelled out of peak times.

It was a tongue in cheek comment, but trains were certainly very busy at peak times, and the schedule went out the window a bit as people were herded (pun intended) on and off the train at Balmoral. No-one actually sat on my knee either!
