Hello to staff at Armagh bus station. Today, 28th June 2022 I was using the town service 12.30 from Woodford, and back on the 2.14 pm from the bus centre. I am not long after hip replacement and am using 2 crutches. This was my first trip out, and my return journey was by myself. I was nervous about tripping, falling, etc, none of those things happened. I want to praise, and thank all the staff on duty today for their kindness and help. The driver was very kind to pick up my travel card, get my ticket and bring it to me in my seat. The lady in the office inside was similar, friendly and with a smile. Well done and thank you.

At least Armagh has a bus station, for many years it didn't, so the very fact one exists is good. Unfortunately it's quite small and there's no cafe, only coffee and snack vending machines (chocolate bars, packets of crisps and bags of sweets). A well cared for Ulsterbus station, if slightly shabby these days. Staff are agreeable, when they're there that is, as the ticket counter's closed up most of the time. Hence you often just purchase your ticket on the bus from the driver. However when you do talk to both counter staff and bus drivers they are friendly and helpful. Today I went to buy an Armagh to Belfast ticket which costs £9.40, but the ticket counter Gent advised me I could purchase a 'Rambler' ticket for £9.00 which allows unlimited Ulsterbus and Belfast Metro journeys for one full day up to midnight (price as at Nov. 2015). There are a couple of things which irk me about this station. Lack of an electronic timetable display board is one, though paper timetables sit at the ticket counter. Secondly the opening times are rubbish. Buses come and go at all hours over 7 days a week but the bus centre's only open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm. This is annoying if you arrive or wish to depart outside station opening hours as you end up standing at an outside bus stop in all weathers. read more

My daughter and i visited Armagh in early June 2018. We are from Canada and It was our first trip to Ireland. We had a return ticket to Dublin but the noon bus was full and the next bus wasn't until evening. We had meeting in Dublin mid afternoon. The gentlemen in the office tried hard to figure out a solution for our dilemma. We are very grateful for their kindness, in particular Eamon Murray, who went out of his way to make sure that we were able to catch a train from Portadown. Their response gave us faith in human kindness which is alive and well at the Armagh bus station. Through this review, we hope they will once again receive our sincere thanks and appreciation. read more
