Translink are introducing a revised train timetable from next Saturday 11 May. The timetable which will operate until the Autumn is to facilitate the closure of Belfast Great Victoria Street Train Station on 10 May 2024 heralding the start of the next phase of works to complete essential infrastructure works on the new state-of-the art Belfast Grand Central Station ahead of the opening this autumn. Later this summer there will be bus substitutions in place from Belfast to Newry.
The Europa Bus Centre will remain operational until Belfast Grand Central Station opens.
The railway line will remain open throughout Belfast but will no longer serve Great Victoria Street Station. Passengers can continue to use other city centre stations including the new York Street, Lanyon Place, Botanic and City Hospital.
Later in the summer, the rail line will close between Lanyon Place and Lisburn. During this time, bus substitution services will operate and passengers will also be able to use scheduled Metro and Ulsterbus services operating between Belfast train stations and along the Lisburn Road. There will also be enhanced Metro, Goldliner and Park and Ride timetables to facilitate our passengers.
All other rail lines will remain open from Belfast Lanyon Place / York Street Station to Derry~Londonderry, Larne and Bangor and the southern corridor will operate from Lisburn southwards. Cross Border Services will operate from Portadown with coach transfers from Belfast to Newry to connect with the Enterprise Train.
Passengers can check the Translink website www.translink.co.uk or journey planner before they travel and may need to allow extra time for their journey with most passengers seeing a change to their normal timetables.
