Mal McGreevy, Translink General Manager, Rail Services, said: “We would encourage passengers to familiarise themselves with the new train timetable to help plan their journeys.

“We hope as many people as possible ‘Try the Train’ and enjoy this most scenic journey through the North West.” said Mal.

It is part of a Translink ‘Try the Train’ campaign to encourage increased use of the new rail service between Londonderry and Coleraine.

Around 85,000 households situated close to the railway line between Ballymena and Londonderry have been sent timetables.
