09 April 2008:
NI Railways is advising passengers using Ballycarry station that, due to resurfacing upgrade work the station will be closed from Wednesday 23rd – Friday 25th April – and NOT Monday 21st – Friday 25th April as previously communicated. Alternatively passengers can use either Whitehead or Magheramorne rail stations.
This work is part of the £17 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.
