'Derry rail station has had the fastest passenger growth on the island in recent years, but at times it can feel as if Translink want to suppress that growing demand.'
Translink has been accused of treating Derry as 'second best' following a raft of recent disruptions on the line from Belfast to the North West city.
Into the West spokesperson, Steve Bradley told MyDerry that Northern Ireland's two main cities should have a "fast, direct, frequent and reliable" rail service between them. "And most of this is down to simple timetabling decisions, not structural limitations. Translink is consciously choosing to provide a poorer service for NI's second city, and it is unacceptable.
