Translink Strike Action 15 December

The Education Authority (EA) has been informed by Translink that they are expecting there will be no train or bus services – Ulsterbus, Goldliner, Metro or Glider, operating on Friday 15 and Friday 22 December, due to Industrial action.

Where possible, the education Authority is taking steps to mitigate the impact of the action. However, they are expecting significant disruption to school transport on both dates. Latest updates can be found via the EA webpage www.eani.org.uk/industrialactionupdates.

Parents are strongly advised to make alternative arrangements for their child if they connect with a Translink bus service for any portion of their journey to and/or from school. This includes children who connect to a Translink service via an EA yellow bus, private hire bus or ferry service.

Translink will communicate relevant passenger information through the media, via their website through social media, in stations, and on buses and trains. The Translink contact centre will also remain open 028 9066 6630.

Education Authority advise parents/carers to consider potential alternative arrangements in advance and check the EA website regularly.
