Translink bus services restored from Saturday 25th Jan following Storm Eowyn

A gradual opening of rail lines is expected from tomorrow (Sat 25 Jan) following extensive damage across the network.

Translink has been working extensively with multiple agencies and mobilised quickly to restore Metro, Glider and Ulsterbus services safely across the network.

From tomorrow (Sat 25th Jan), normal scheduled Saturday bus services will operate however there will be some diversions in place due to ongoing road closures and clearance work in the wake of the storm.

There has been unprecedented damage with dozens of incidents across the rail network with the storm bringing trees down on tracks and damage to barriers and other structures.

Specialist teams are carrying out safety checks of the infrastructure.  They will continue working overnight to clear the railway lines and get vital repairs underway to introduce the gradual safe return of rail services as quickly as possible for our passengers over the weekend.

We will keep passengers informed of developments through our Journey Planner, website Weather Warning and social media channels and would ask everyone to please check these before you travel.

We would like to thank all our passengers and staff for their support and patience at this time.
