Well also note that Yorkgate closes end off April and York Steeet due to open April 29th

Thanks John will relay your comments today!

Great to see interior of railcar 12 plus confirmation of my belief that Drumboe needs a red not black dome in Donegal Town where I will be tomorrow!

Will it be all from 10 May right through to June

NIR people are telling me different things about May to June.  Station closure booked for May 10th with some work booked for week before that date.

Lots of closures and disruption between Belfast and Lisburn/Portadown in May/June with GVS closed 

Latest issue of Steam Railway out 28/3 has an article on the Cavan and Leitrim Railway

Complete closure July/August during school holidays

The only thing accurate is that until 1937 Donegal kocos were painted black!

Lots of line closures Belfast to Lisburn /Portadown May/June then complete closure July/August

So are rail.users in NI!

Lots of work planned for Botanic station upgrade during complete closure July/August

GVS still to close to rail services from May 10th until rail services return to the new hub early September 

For 10 days over Easter Enterprise runs to and from Portadown.  Belfast bus connections all use Newry due to better road connections. 

This one needs a word from JHB 

Mid September for the students returning to Queens is a key factor 

According to the WTT 59.5

Thanks for the lovely new CDR colour photos from JGD.

So with that being said, is the line expected to reopen briefly in June?

No line from GVS closed from May to September which leads to a series of closures on Portadown/Dublin line to facilitate track changes on approach to GVS 

Line between Lisburn and Portadown will.be closed for much of July and August. Enterprise rail services will stop at Newry or Portadown until September

Yes and rail section of the new hub due to open September 2024

I believe there’s a whole array of bustitutions planned.

Yes indeed for Dublin Line buses to and from Newry to Belfast from May 10th now 

GVS will now close to all rail services from May 10th which is the new confirmed date for a series of work starting with extensive line closures over Easter.

Will have a look through my archive in the morning to see how I help?

GVS rail closure date brought forward to May 10th now confirmed

The last DD set left GVS 2 weeks ago unless something unplanned happens.
