Cheapest coach hire Dublin - Belfast

electrogrimey

I'm looking to organise a trip to Belfast for my class in college, and I'm wondering what the cheapest way to get there would be. There'll be about 30-50 of us. Marathon Coaches do a trip for €99pp which included return coach and two nights in a hostel, but seeing as a hostel is only €7pp a night I thought I could do better than that.

Looking around it seems about €1000 for a return trip in a coach is standard, anybody have any cheaper way of doing it, or can anybody recommend a cheaper company?

Try the train at 20 pp return until Jan 3rd. That would work out at 34 pp for two nights if you go with your £7 hostel. Also, a little less hassle for yourself instead of trying to get everyone to the coach pick up on time.

Trip would most likely be later that the 3rd, or does the offer still apply as long as you book before the 3rd?

Edit: this doesn't really answer the question.

Thanks for those coach links, I'll get quotes off them.
