Translink has unwrapped details of its popular late-night bus and rail Nightmover services in Belfast over Christmas.
The services will operate on Friday and Saturday nights from November 24.
With the party season fast approaching, Translink is urging festive revellers to travel into the city for their Christmas catch ups with the assurance they can get home safely.
Late-night Belfast Metro services will start first on Friday, November 24 and will be followed by Goldliner/Urby and rail services from Friday, December 1, offering a range of departures to towns and cities across Northern Ireland.
Special Nightmover fares will be applied for all passengers starting from £6 for an adult Metro single ticket.
These can be purchased from the driver, conductor or station staff on the day of travel.
Commenting on the return of the late-night timetable, Translink Group Chief Executive, Chris Conway said: “The night-time economy plays an essential role in boosting tourism, jobs and in keeping people better connected and we want to play our part in helping more people enjoy the fantastic hospitality on offer.
“People can come into the city and enjoy all the Christmas craic and festivities knowing they have a safe and reliable way home.
“We know there has been strong public interest in late night bus and rail services and we are expecting them to be busy as more people make the most of the festive season.”
CEO of Belfast One Alan Crowe adds, “Belfast is such a vibrant city with so much to offer so with Nightmovers we can welcome more people to come and see it for themselves. Especially during this busy Christmas season, the option for guests to stay longer and enjoy shopping and socialising into the evening should be highly popular.”
Full details of our festive travel package and Christmas timetable arrangements are now available on our website www.translink.co.uk/nightmovers, social media channels and via the contact centre.
