Translink summer timetable in effect from today

Translink say they are introducing adjustments to bus timetables from today.

The new summer bus timetables will include some frequency enhancements on routes that often attract more leisure travel at this time of the year such as Newcastle and the North Coast.

Travellers are urged to check their individual timetables before journeys, to be aware of any changes.

Ian Campbell, Director of Service Operations said customers should follow expert advice while onboard.

He added: “We continue to closely monitor our services and passenger numbers and these latest changes are designed to meet the changing passenger demand as lockdown restrictions ease.

“Passengers are urged to continue to follow the expert advice, wash or sanitise hands frequently, please wear a face covering, travel off peak and maintain a social distance. If services are busy, passengers may need to wait for the next bus or train so it is important to allow extra time for your journey.

“We also remind passengers that there are a range of safety measures in place at stations and on board including more signage and screens on services and in-stations.

"Our frontline staff will be wearing PPE, new one-way systems may be in operation and hand sanitiser dispensers are in place for public use and our buses, trains and stations receive enhanced cleaning to help look after all our passengers and employees."

Passengers should familiarise themselves with the new timetables, by checking our Journey Planner and website  www.translink.co.uk  or call the contact centre on 028 90 666630.
