==Transport== ===Air=== The province's main airport is [[Belfast International Airport]] (popularly called Aldergrove Airport), which is located at [[Aldergrove, Northern Ireland|Aldergrove]], 11.5 miles northwest of Belfast near [[Antrim, County Antrim|Antrim]]. [[George Best Belfast City Airport]] (sometimes referred to as "the City Airport" or "the Harbour Airport") is another, smaller airport which is located at [[Sydenham railway station, Northern Ireland|Sydenham]] in Belfast. The [[City of Derry Airport]] is located at [[Eglinton, County Londonderry|Eglinton]], {{convert|13|km|mi|0}} east of the city of [[Derry]]. There is also [[Donegal Airport]] ({{langx|ga|Aerfort Dhún na nGall}}), popularly known as Carrickfinn Airport, which is located in [[The Rosses]]. ===Rail=== Railway lines are run by [[NI Railways]] (NIR). Belfast to Bangor and Belfast to Lisburn are strategically the most important routes on the network with the greatest number of passengers and largest profit margins. The [[Belfast-Derry railway line]] connecting [[Derry ~ Londonderry railway station|Derry~Londonderry railway station]], via [[Coleraine railway station|Coleraine]], [[Ballymoney railway station|Ballymoney]], [[Ballymena railway station|Ballymena]] and [[Antrim railway station|Antrim]], with [[Lanyon Place railway station|Lanyon Place]] and [[Belfast Grand Central station|Belfast Grand Central]] is a noted scenic route. Belfast is also connected with [[Carrickfergus railway station|Carrickfergus]] and [[Larne Harbour railway station|Larne Harbour]], [[Portadown railway station|Portadown]], [[Newry railway station|Newry]] and onwards, via the [[Enterprise (train service)|Enterprise]] service jointly operated by NIR and [[Iarnród Éireann]], to [[Dublin Connolly]]. The main railway lines linking to and from Belfast Grand Central and Belfast Lanyon Place are: *The Derry Line and the Portrush Branch *The Larne Line *The Bangor Line *The [[Portadown railway station|Portadown]] Line Only five Irish counties, all in Southern and Western Ulster, currently have no mainline railway. The historic [[Great Northern Railway of Ireland]] connected them. They are Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Donegal. A plan to re-link [[Sligo]] and Derry through Donegal has been postponed until at least 2030.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.derrydaily.net/2013/09/16/derry-sligo-train-link-railed-out/|title=DERRY-SLIGO TRAIN LINK "RAILED OUT" {{!}} Derry Daily|date=16 September 2013|access-date=26 August 2016|archive-date=8 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170208141640/http://www.derrydaily.net/2013/09/16/derry-sligo-train-link-railed-out/|url-status=live}}</ref>
