The train service between Portadown and Newry has been stopped for the second day in a row due to flooding on the tracks, resulting in a bus service being used as an alternative.

The closure continues to cause disruption to the Enterprise service between Belfast and Dublin.

As a result buses are being operated both ways between Belfast Central and Newry and from Lisburn to Portadown and Portadown to Newry (both ways).

The Enterprise trains will still operate between Newry and Dublin but delays can be expected on these services as a result of the bus substitution.

Otherwise, a normal timetable will operate for all Translink services on Saturday.

Storm Frank, which hit on Tuesday, caused the worst flooding Newry has seen in decades, after a river burst its banks.
