This work will secure the long term future and sustainability of this important rail corridor and when completed it will mean a more resilient rail service to and from Derry~Londonderry including the potential for more frequent and faster journeys.

Works are due to be largely completed by late 2016.

We would remind road users and anyone using user worked crossings to remain vigilant as level crossing barriers will be in use and there will be trains operating both day and night.

Passengers wishing to travel on these weekends should refer to our website, journey planner, tweet us on @Translink_NI or call the contact centre on 0289066630
