...we literally had to wait a minute for the connecting train from Coleraine to Portrush.  The Derry/Londonderry train pulled out, and ours pulled in.  Perfect!

Once in Portrush, we headed for the bus stop but couldn't work out the timetable - surely we didn't have to wait an hour and a half to go the short distance to Dunluce Castle?  We went to the tourist info place just across the street, and it turned out it was true!  She advised us to get a taxi (yeah, it was that close!) saying it'd cost about £10.  We decided to do this, and she armed us with bus times for the rest of the day, and we headed off to flag down a taxi on the main street.

Took no time at all to get to Dunluce Castle, and only cost £5 in the end - bargain - and crucial to the timings of the day - if we'd waited in Portrush for the bus, we'd probably still be at Carrick-a-rede rope bridge now!  (OK...minor exaggeration - I'm sure we'd have got back the next morning, but you know what I mean!)
