The following services will be suspended until further notice:

Monday to Saturday 06.45hrs and 20.05hrs from Belfast to Dublin Connolly - and 07.35hrs and 20.50hrs from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Lanyon Place.

Translink would remind those making essential journeys to wear a face covering, practice good hand hygiene, socially distance and use contactless payments to minimise interaction, so together, we can keep everyone safe and limit the spread of the virus.


“We continue to use enhanced cleaning regimes using the latest cleaning technology and long-lasting anti-viral disinfectant that kills viruses and bacteria on contact providing ongoing protection and means our fleet and facilities are cleaner than ever.


“We would encourage our customers to familiarise themselves with any changes to their specific services in case they need to adapt their travel plans.”
