Translink warns of further train service disruption on Belfast-Derry / Londonderry and Larne lines
Translink has warned of further disruption to railway services on the Belfast-Derry / Londonderry and Belfast-Larne routes following an incident on Friday evening.
A traffic collision on the M2 motorway northbound after York Street resulted in what Translink described as ‘an obstruction’ on the railway line.
Images published online appear to show a lorry crashed through the barrier separating the motorway from the railway.
Following the incident, train services between York Street and Whiteabbey were cancelled due to the line closure.
On Saturday morning, Translink confirmed further disruption to operations on the Belfast-Derry / Londonderry and Belfast-Larne routes is expected “until further notice”.
It said that due to the earlier obstruction on the line, trains between York Street and Larne Harbour and between York Street and Derry / Londonderry trains have to run at reduced speed.
"Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until further notice,” Translink said.
"Passengers are asked to expect delays of approximately 10 mins on their journey. NIR apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
