Train from Dublin to Belfast

Hi! I am trying to reserve a seat on the train from Dublin Connelly to Belfast. For mid-October of this year. I have done so numerous times in the past, but not since at least five years ago. I realize I may be a bit too early in reserving, but I’ve put in earlier dates just to get an idea on the times.

On the Irish Rail website and on its app, I cannot find any direct train.. Every train calls for a transfer from the train to a bus. I believe at the international border. No train seems to go all the way from one city to the other. In the past I have always been able to go all the way on the train, with no transfer anywhere. Yes, a few stops, but otherwise a direct train in both directions, Has this changed or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

There are consyruction & line works in connection with the new Belfast Grand Central station which means through services from Dublin are currently not available. They are to resume in "early Autumn".
