Translink is advising rail passengers of essential engineering works on the Portadown line on Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23.

To facilitate the works, the public transport operator says there will be a line closure between Belfast Great Victoria Street and Portadown stations with bus substitution services in place for local rail and cross-border Enterprise services.

In a statement, Translink added: “Enterprise services will operate as normal between Portadown and Dublin Connolly with bus substitution in place between Belfast Lanyon Place and Newry. An express coach service will run between Newry and Belfast Lanyon Place.
