Current Service
The section of track between the Portrush branch junction, and Londonderry Waterside is currently closed for essential track relaying and bridge repair work. This has resulted in Coleraine and Portrush becoming the temporary northern termini of the Derry line.
On weekdays, there is a two-hourly service operating to Great Victoria Street, with some services terminating at Belfast Central. In the other direction, there is a service roughly every 45 minutes to Portrush, some operated by through trains from Belfast, some on dedicated services from Coleraine.
On Saturdays, the dedicated Coleraine-Portrush services are less frequent, with the service being reduced to hourly towards Portrush, and still every two hours to Belfast.
On Sundays, there is an alternating hourly/two-hourly service to Portrush, and a three-hourly service to Belfast, with one train marked as an express between Coleraine and Yorkgate.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or service:
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
