Translink operates Northern Ireland’s extensive bus and rail network.
Trains to Belfast, Derry ~ Londonderry via Coleraine, Bangor, Newry via Lisburn and Portadown and Larne via Carrickfergus are available from NI Railways as highlighted on the map. The cross-border Enterprise rail service operates from Belfast to Dublin. Taking the train can add to the experience of your day out, allowing you to travel in comfort, free from the stress of traffic congestion and the hassle of parking, ensuring that your journey is part of your day out rather than just simply a means of getting to your destination!
Translink also provide bus and coach services throughout Northern Ireland, including Metro bus services in Belfast as well as Goldline inter-city coaches and Ulsterbus town and regional services outside Belfast.
Rambler bus services supported by the Rural Transport Fund scheme are also available as highlighted on the map. These bus services cover parts of the scenic Causeway Coast, rugged terrain of the Mourne and Sperrin Mountains as well as the South East Coast and Ring of Gullion. Rambler bus services are an excellent way to explore some of the most varied and interesting scenery in the country and also visit great attractions along the way.
