Passengers from Botanic and City Hospital travelling to Londonderry line stations are advised to use bus substitution services from Belfast Great Victoria Street and Lanyon Place.

Separately, bus substitutions will operate between Drogheda and Dublin on the Belfast to Dublin Enterprise service this weekend due to engineering works by Irish Rail.

In addition, the 06.35 Newry to Dublin and the 17.21 on Monday (February 6) will not operate.

For passengers using the Bangor to Portadown and Larne lines normal services will continue.
