NI Railways Strike Gets Underway
Around 150 NI Railways conductors, station and platform staff are currently taking part in a 24-hour strike.
The strike by the GMB union is over a long-running dispute regarding pay.
Translink has said there will be a reduced train service today (Monday) and passengers should expect significant delays.
The firm plans to run an hourly service throughout the day, with more trains being made available at peak times. It added that the Enterprise to Dublin service is not affected by the industrial action. Bus and coach services are also running as normal.
Translink's Ciaran Rogan said: "We will be running train services, so people can turn up at stations and get a train service, but also look for the local bus services as well because they're running a full schedule.
"We would recognise passengers with weekly or monthly tickets or period passes - we will refund people, we'll give them an extra day when they're renewing their tickets, they bring it in and we'll look after that."
