Translink are advising passengers to plan ahead as scheduled engineering works will affect multiple train lines in the next coming weeks.
Services to be affected include:
- The train line between Drogheda and Dublin will be closed on two forthcoming weekends: Saturday 31st January, Sunday 1st February and Monday 2nd February as well as Saturday 21st February and Sunday 22nd February.
- Trainlines from Lanyon Place Station to Bangor; between Coleraine and Derry~Londonderry and on the Larne Line between Carrickfergus and Larne Harbour across two weekends in late February: Saturday 21st/Sunday 22nd February and Saturday 28th February/Sunday 1st March.
To minimise disruption across railway travel, bus services will be available to passengers during this period of maintenance.
The engineering work will include safety critical platform extension works at Helen’s Bay station; tunnel maintenance at Castlerock and Downhill, as well as culvert repairs between Coleraine and Derry~Londonderry; and essential repairs on the railway embankment at Cloghan Point near Whitehead.
Translink’s Director of Infrastructure and Projects John Glass said “We apologise to our passengers for any inconvenience, and we advise our customers to check their timetables in advance of travel or Translink’s Journey Planner as bus substitutions may operate different schedules to regular train timetables.”
