TRANSLINK has confirmed there will be no Metro, Ulsterbus or Glider services out of Belfast after 5.30pm on Thursday evening.

  • The last rail services will operate on or before 8.15pm from Grand Central Station.
  • A reduced timetable will operate this evening on Enterprise services – customers should check details online before they travel. 
  • Outside Belfast local Ulsterbus services are expected to operate largely as normal, including Foyle Metro, with some adjustments.

  • X1, X2, X3, X4 and Ulsterbus 300 airport service will operate as normal.
