03 December 2007:
NI Railways is advising passengers using the Adelaide station halt that, due to upgrade work currently being carried out on the line, the platform in the Portadown direction will be closed the weekend of 15th and 16th of December. Also the platform in the Belfast direction will be closed the weekend of the 5th and 6th January.
On Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 December the platform in the Portadown direction at Adelaide will be closed for essential day work.
Translink would like to inform local residents at Botanic station halt that night work will take place on Wednesday 12 December.
Also on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 January the platform in the Belfast direction at Adelaide will be closed for essential day work.
This work is part of the £7 million investment package to upgrade stations across Northern Ireland in order to deliver a better rail service. The work involves new signage, shelters, seating and re-surfacing and will mean greater access for disabled passengers and a better environment for all.
Translink’s General Manager for Rail Services, Mal McGreevy, has assured passengers that every effort would be made to minimise noise and disruption to stations and services.
NI Railways would like to ask passengers and residents for their continued support, in order to improve this local facility for the local community, and would apologise for any inconvenience caused by these temporary arrangements.
Passengers can access the latest information regarding the project by logging on to www.translink.co.uk or by contacting Translink’s Call Centre on 028 9066 6630.
