Advice and information about public, accessible and community transport including information about traveling with a disability or reduced mobility, and finding the best value fare.
We can help if things go wrong; you can make a complaint to us if you are unhappy with the service you have received on public or private transport.
The Translink Passenger Charter is its commitment to service standards. For example
We work in partnership with Translink and the Department for Infrastructure (DFI) to monitor how well Translink performs against these measures as well as other targets. The results are published every six months on posters in bus and train stations and on the Translink website.
If a train is cancelled or delayed you may be entitled to compensation or a refund. Check the Delay-Repay Scheme for further details.
More detailed information is available in the Translink Passenger Charter or by calling the Translink contact centre on 028 9066 6630.
All Metro and Glider services are operated using low floor, wheelchair accessible vehicles. Each now has visual displays and audio announcements so passengers know which stop is coming next.
Many stations have step free access. However, some stations and some Ulsterbus and Goldline vehicles have steps. If you need any assistance when travelling call the Translink contact centre 028 9066 6630 at least 24 hours before you travel to ensure you can get the information and assistance that you need.
Translink has an ‘Access Guide’ with current service levels for passengers with a disability or reduced mobility. It also has a ‘Facilities Guide’ that provides information on the facilities at stations and halts. These guides are available on Translink’s website. You can also request a copy from the contact centre on 028 9066 6630 or by emailing feedback@translink.co.uk.
There is a wide range of tickets available for different services and journeys. Passengers can buy tickets on board vehicles, in stations and some tickets can be bought online or at ticket machines. There are day tickets, weekly and monthly tickets, multi journey tickets and annual tickets, all of which could save you money, depending on when and how you are travelling.
Translink are currently rolling out an Account Based Ticketing system which allows passengers to “tap on” with their credit or debit card. Find out more on the Translink website.
If you are over 60 or are in certain categories of disabilities you may be entitled to concessionary travel. More information is available on the Translink website.
Translink staff can give you information on the best ticket for your needs. More information is available on the Translink website or by calling the Translink contact centre on 028 9066 6630.
Timetable information is available at stations and halts, via the Translink website or by calling the Translink contact centre 028 9066 6630.
There is a journey planning section on the Translink website which allows you to input where you are travelling from and to and at what time. It will then tell you which services you can use.
There is also a Translink app which can be downloaded onto smartphones which provides information on routes, timetables and can tell you which services to use for your journey.
