Essential engineering works are scheduled to impact several key rail lines operated by Translink over the upcoming weeks. Services on the Dublin, Bangor, Larne, and Derry/Londonderry lines will experience disruptions.
Rail replacement bus services will be implemented for Enterprise services operating between Drogheda and Dublin Connolly. Concurrently, a modified train timetable will be in effect for services connecting Belfast Grand Central Station and Drogheda.
Further disruptions are planned for two weekends in late February. Specifically, the lines between Lanyon Place Station and Bangor, Coleraine and Derry/Londonderry, and Carrickfergus and Larne Harbour will be affected. Rail replacement buses will be used during these periods.
The comprehensive program includes critical maintenance such as platform extensions at Helen's Bay station, tunnel repairs at Castlerock and Downhill, culvert repairs between Coleraine and Derry/Londonderry, and essential embankment repairs at Cloghan Point near Whitehead. These consolidated works aim to enhance the safety and reliability of the rail network.
