Northern Ireland is not reachable with 4 hours to hide. Even if someone hid literally in Ayr station and was found at the optimal time, it’s about 5 hours to Belfast on the rail replacement bus and the ferry. The Liverpool ferries take longer.
Even the old High-speed Sea Service from Stranraer would have been difficult, taking 2h10 plus check-in at the end of a branch line, plus time getting away from the port in Belfast.
I don’t think this is much of a spoiler when it’s known to anyone who’s done it, or just looked at the timetable.
