NI Railways is advising passengers using Marino station halt that, due to upgrade work currently being carried out on the line, the platform in the Belfast direction will be closed the weekend of 17 November.

The company has also announced that the Dunmurray station halt, in the directions of Belfast and Portadown will also be closed.

The work is part of the £7 million investment package to upgrade stations across the Province in order to deliver a better rail service. The work involves new signage, shelters, seating and re-surfacing and will mean greater access for disabled passengers and a better environment for all.
