Rail closure at Yorkgate to affect Larne line passengers

NI Railways services will be suspended between Bangor and Belfast Lanyon Place and between Yorkgate and Belfast Lanyon Place on Sundays, October 11 and 18.

No train services will operate on the Bangor Line on those days, with a normal Sunday timetable in place between Yorkgate and all stations north.

Passengers travelling on the Larne line, who will be affected by a simultaneous closure at Yorkgate, should be aware that a bus substitution service will operate between Yorkgate and Great Victoria Street according to the normal timetable.
