Recently, Translink has come under fire for delaying the publication of the results a public consultation surrounding the future of Derry’s railway station.
The consultation into the future of the Waterside station is understood to contain three options – revamp the present terminal, a new build or redevelopment the former station.
The consultation period closed in March but Translink said its results would not be made public until February next.
Confirming she would leave the post of Translink CEO in March, Ms Mason made no mention of the controversy.
She said: “It is with mixed emotions I am making this move; firstly genuine sadness, I have enjoyed my time in Translink and Northern Ireland.
“But I also feel huge pride in the success Translink has had, during very difficult economic times.
“We have grown passenger numbers and customer satisfaction is very high due to major investment programmes in new buses and trains, infrastructure works and passenger facilities and huge innovation in ticketing and customer information.
“But none of this would have been possible without the professionalism and expertise of everyone in Translink and all done with a warmth to, and care for our customers.”
She concluded: I wish to thank all my colleagues in Translink for their friendship, support and hard work over the past years; I can confidently say Translink is among the best when it comes to passenger transport.”
