Essential engineering works taking this week on Derry train line

Passengers looking to use the Derry train line from Saturday February 11 to Sunday February 19 have been reminded of essential engineering works taking place.

The work is part of the Cullybackey Area Renewals Project and bus substitutions will run on the impacted section on train line.

The work will involve line closures between Belfast Lanyon Place and Coleraine station on February 11 and 12 and between Antrim and Coleraine on February 13 to 19 during the closure period, with bus substitution services in place.

There will be no impact on rail services between Derry and Coleraine with normal timetables in place. Scheduled Ulsterbus services will also be operating as per normal.

The works will see significant upgrades to the track and platform to maintain high quality, safe and attractive rail services.

Translink is urging passengers to plan ahead and check timetables before they travel as minor alterations to services may have been made to accommodate bus substitutions.

The closure has been planned during the mid-term school holidays to minimise disruption.

Passengers are advised to check online at www.translink.co.uk or use the Journey Planner before they travel and to allow extra time for their journey.
