We’ve used their feedback to design the Foyle Metro' experience – its new-look, routes and timetables – and we’re looking forward to their first impressions of the new service.

As a major local employer delivering more than 270 jobs in the North West, Foyle Metro will also help secure a successful future for our business here."
