Temporary Adjustments Due to the Fleadh

During the week of the Fleadh (2-9 August) bus, rail and airport services will be running as normal with some temporary adjustments in Belfast city centre.

There will be temporary changes to some Metro departure points both in and out of the city - customers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with any changes to their normal stops and routes.

Enhanced Rail Services will operate during the Fleadh. Some Ulsterbus and Glider Services will also be affected, check the journey planner for latest information.

Metro Bus Stop Departure Changes

Plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey. Services are expected to be busy throughout the week of the Fleadh.
