31st March 2008:
NI Railways is advising passengers using Whiteabbey station halt that, due to upgrade work currently being carried out on the line, the platform in the Belfast direction will be closed on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April for essential day work. The platform in the Carrickfergus direction will be closed on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th April.
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.
