Translink Spirit In Action

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT & COMMUNITY

We are currently investing significantly to upgrade and improve our rail infrastructure across the network, in doing so we are able to work with specific community groups and schools that are close or impacted by the engineering works.

It is important to Translink to bring the community along with us while we undertake critical engineering work and keep them at the heart of the projects, to give back when we can and offer our support, whether it be through initiatives or volunteering in the area. 

We are grateful for the opportunity to work closely these stakeholders and help support local initiatives including biodiversity projects.
