As I have said before the 219 Belfast / Ballymena via Antrim Express services are often operated by Tigers. So far the oldest Tiger that I have noted has been 488 (IXI 1488) but other examples include 1215 (NXI 4215) and newer Cityliner Tigers. In total Antrim has 4 Goldliners: 1432 (WXI 4432) / 1576 (EAZ 2576) / 1588 (EAZ 2588) and 1604 (JAZ 1604).
As Scott said Tigers are only used as a last resort but it is interesting to note that every time a Tiger is used by Antrim on Express work, at least 1 of the Goldliners are parked up in the station. One day when I was on 1376 (UXI 1376) on the 219 service all 4 Goldliners were parked up!
