New buses to meet demand
THE introduction of two new commuter bus services between Londonderry to Belfast have been introduced by Translink in response to an increase in the number of customers using the route.
A new express commuter service was introduced at the start of September. Bus Minister Danny Kennedy said the new service was a response to rising demand.
“Two Goldline express services are operated by Translink,” he explained. “Those are the 212 Goldline service between Londonderry and Belfast via Glenshane. There has been an increase in customers using that service, and Translink, which has operational responsibility for the provision of services, has advised me that, to deal with that, it has introduced an additional morning and evening journey on the route with effect from September 3, 2012.”
He added: “The two new services are at 6.10 am from Londonderry to Belfast and at 5.45pm from Belfast to Londonderry. Translink has also decided to reduce the number of stops en route on the two additional services to offer the fastest journey time.
“Translink will continue to monitor the change to ensure that it meets customer needs. The bus will display GX212 as its service number to enable passengers to identify the two reduced stop services.”
