Stay safe, stay aware
Safety is our top priority. We ask all passengers to be vigilant when getting on and off buses and trains.
- Avoid distractions like headphones and mobile phones near roads, stairs, and platforms.
- Take extra care when crossing roads after exiting a bus.
- Always stand behind the yellow line on a platform.
Translink also wants pupils to stay safe and be #railcool around the railway. Check out Rail Cool Rules and take part in our accredited #railcoolrules programme in partnership with Rail Safe Friendly.
