With large crowds expected at the 146th Balmoral Show, 14 – 16 May, Translink is urging visitors to plan their journey in advance and leave extra time to make onward train connections.
Special bus, coach and train transport arrangements are in place to help visitors get to and from the show grounds at Balmoral Park situated at Maze Long Kesh.
RUAS Chief Executive Colin McDonald said: "Preparations for the Balmoral Show's second year at Balmoral Park are well advanced and we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to the Show over the course of the three days. We continue to encourage visitors to consider public transport options when planning their journey to the Show.
"We have teamed up with Translink to provide coach day tours from a range of regional towns which represent a convenient and economical way to visit the Show. Our complimentary shuttle bus service from Lisburn train station to the Show will be in operation again. Last year, this service operated very successfully with shuttle bus passengers beating the queues and enjoying quick access to the Show. Bus passengers who purchase early bird tickets on the Balmoral Show website will be able to enjoy priority entrances at the event."
Translink’s Ciarán Rogan said: "We are working closely with RUAS to provide hassle-free bus and train travel to this year’s show and would encourage visitors to plan their journey."
