Metro passengers are set to see the return of normal scheduled evening services from today, Wednesday, November, 10 with some diversions in localised areas.

This follows ongoing engagement with trade unions, PSNI and local community representatives alongside enhanced safety measures.

Ian Campbell, Translink Director of Service Operations said: “We have worked very closely with colleagues in our trade unions and the PSNI and have reached out to engage with local communities enabling us to make these appropriate decisions around the safe return of evening services.

“We understand many people rely on us to get them to where they need to be and appreciate their frustrations. It has been important to work quickly to find suitable solutions to this difficult situation that ensured the safety of everyone and I am sure this will be welcome news for passengers to have their services back.

“We will continue to make safety our priority. We will continue to liaise with the PSNI, trade unions and the community and monitor services over the coming days and have steps in place to respond to any arising situations.

“Once again a big thanks to everyone for their on-going support and patience. We will continue to keep everybody updated through our website www.translink.co.uk, Journey Planner, Twitter or call the contact centre on 028 90 66 66 30 to get the latest service information before you travel,” Ian concluded.
