Newry Railway Station will see the addition of two additional trains (Monday to Friday) to and from Dublin, from this Monday 26 August. The 8.14am Dundalk to Dublin Connolly will depart from Newry at 7.53am and the 5.50pm Dublin to Dundalk will extend to Newry. Additionally from Monday the bus substitutions will be replaced once again by a two hourly train schedule between 8am and 8pm.
The changes will help facilitate the new hourly Enterprise timetable commencing later this autumn.
Translink’s Group Chief Executive Chris Conway explained: “From Monday 26th August, services (currently operating as a bus substitution between Lanyon Place and Newry*) will leave Belfast on the hour, every two hours, Monday to Saturday from 6.00am, while trains leaving Dublin Connolly station will depart at ten to the hour, with the first train at 6.50am.
“This is great news for passengers travelling to Dublin for work or meetings, as the first train from Belfast will arrive into Dublin at 8.16am.
“In addition, the Sunday schedule is being enhanced, with two additional trains in each direction, moving to a two hourly schedule between 8.05am and 8.05pm from Belfast and between 8.50am and 8.50pm from Dublin."
Translink and Iarnrod Eireann say they are committed to developing and enhancing Enterprise services, to provide a high-quality customer journey experience for everyone.
“Later this Autumn, we look forward to relocating the service to the world class new Grand Central Station and introduction of hourly services that will further encourage more people to leave their cars at home and use public transport”, Chris concluded.
