Passengers travelling on the Enterprise train service to and from Newry to Belfast should note that the * weekend Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 March all services will operate to/from Great Victoria Street station in Belfast.
This is due to closure of the railway line between Lanyon Place and Great Victoria Street stations for essential rail engineering works to enable the move to the new Belfast Grand Central Station later this year. When the new station opens all Enterprise services will begin and terminate at Grand Central.
Translink’s Ian Campbell, Director of Service Operations said: “Work on Belfast Grand Central Station is moving at pace. Set to be the largest integrated transport hub on the island of Ireland this exciting new station will deliver high-quality facilities for our passengers.
“To enable these works, we have carefully planned a range of travel options and bus substitution services to minimise the overall impact and ensure people can continue to make their journeys and access the city."
Full details are available on the website: www.translink.co.uk; Journey Planner and from Translink’s Contact Centre, phone 02890 666630.
Bus substitutions will operate between Great Victoria Street and Lanyon Place stations approximately every 30 minutes.
City Hospital and Botanic stations will be closed but valid train tickets will be accepted on Metro or Ulsterbus services along Botanic Avenue and the Lisburn Road. Enterprise passengers can avail of the rail users’ parking discount by presenting their car parking and Enterprise train tickets to the Great Northern Mall (Hope Street exit) car park office before returning to their car.
* Edited 17/2 1pm - 3/4 march is Not next weekend!
