Translink has announced bus timetable changes from July 1, as well as some bus stop changes in Belfast.
The temporary measures are being introduced as part of improvement works around the new Belfast Grand Central Station.
Adjustments will be made to some city centre bus stops with relocation of some Ulsterbus services to Laganside Buscentre.
There will also be changes to rail timetables due to essential engineering works taking place on the railway line between Belfast and Lisburn with a line closure planned from Wednesday July 3 until early autumn.
There will be additional staff on the ground on the run up to the changes to help guide passengers.
Translink’s David Curry, General Manager Bus Services, said: “I want to thank all our passengers and local neighbours for their support and patience as we progress these essential works which will be worth it when Belfast Grand Central Station and the public realm works around it are fully complete next year.
“The important message to all our passengers is to check the Journey Planner or website for timetable information before their journey. Our teams will be hosting pop-up information days at train and bus stations later this month and I encourage the public to attend to find out more about these works and their impact.”
