Translink Announces Evening Suspension of All Bus and Rail Services
Translink has confirmed that all bus and rail services will be suspended this evening, Wednesday 10 June, in anticipation of planned protests.

A Translink spokesperson said: "Due to expected protests all Translink bus and rail services will be suspended this evening (Wednesday 10 June).
"There will be no bus departures after 5pm and no train services will depart after 6pm.
"There is currently a temporary suspension of some bus services until 1.30pm after which time services will resume.
"We are working closely with a range of stakeholders, including the PSNI, our Trade Unions, and other key partners to make appropriate arrangements to keep our passengers, staff and the wider public safe.
"Passengers are advised that services may be subject to alteration or cancellation. Where possible, passengers should travel earlier in the day and allow extra time for their journeys.
"Suspending services is always a last resort, but the safety of our customers and staff remains our top priority. We want to give people as much advance notice as possible so they can plan accordingly.
"We thank our staff and customers for their continued support at this time.
