Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Patricia Logue, has urged Derry GAA fans travelling to Croke Park for Sunday’s All Ireland quarter final to consider availing of Translink’s additional rail and bus services to Dublin.
A special bus and rail service to Bus Aras and Dublin Connolly Station will allow fans to travel directly to Dublin City centre on Sunday morning ahead of the Oak Leaf’s crunch clash with Cork at GAA HQ (Throw in 1.45pm).
The train will depart the North-West Transport Hub at 8:25am that morning, calling at Bellarena (8:47am), Coleraine (9:04am), Antrim (9:48am), and Belfast Lanyon Place (10:11am) and will return from Dublin Connolly at 6:40pm that evening.
Special coach services will depart from Foyle Street Bus Centre at 7:30am and Dungiven Bus Station at 8am.
“I would like to thank Translink for laying on these special services that will allow as many supporters as possible to make the trip to Dublin this Sunday and hopefully roar Derry on to a place in the All Ireland semi-finals,” said Mayor Logue.
“The special services proved particularly popular for the FAI Cup Final before Christmas and they offer a safe and convenient way to travel to Croke Park, leaving supporters off a short walk from the stadium.
“Seats for the services are limited so I would advise supporters to book their place now to avoid disappointment and have a day to remember in Dublin!”
More information on both services can be found at: www.translink.co.uk/events and customers will receive their tickets via email.
Concession passenger applies to Senior Citizens (65+), War Disabled, Blind Pass and RoI Senior SmartPass holders.
Customers will receive their tickets via email.
Match tickets are available online via Ticketmaster and at selected SuperValu and Centra stores.
