Northern Ireland's train line in L'Derry is set to close next month as work progresses on the new North-West Transport Hub.

The project at L'Derry's Waterside Train Station will result in a scheduled line closure in the north-west from Tuesday 08 October until Sunday 20 October. Bus substitutions will be in place throughout, with valid rail tickets accepted on rail substitution bus services and scheduled Ulsterbus services 134, 143/144 and 234 only.

This closure will allow for essential track and signalling work as part of Translink's major £27 million project.

The new Hub will bring a further step change in the city's public transport development enhancing connectivity between train, bus and cycling as better active travel options helping to encourage modal shift for a healthier region.

The project is supported by the Department for Infrastructure and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in Ireland, as well as having secured significant European INTERREG VA funding.

Overall, the scheme aims to support continued passenger growth, linking into cross border bus services and regenerating the former Grade B Listed Waterside Train Station.
