Stop the cuts to bus and rail services and fare discounts
Stop Translink from cutting bus and train services and removing fare discounts.
Why is this important?
The cost of these cuts will be immense for rural communities, struggling students and older people. More of us will struggle to go to work and school, be unable to support loved ones, miss medical appointments and more.
The financial pressures facing Translink is entirely their own doing. Back in 2024, Translink opened the £340 million Grand Central Station, overspending budgets in the tens of millions while splashing £11 million on excessive ‘management fees. Translink’s boss who announced the cuts earns £191,000 per year!
We should not be footing the bill! Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has the final say how publicly-owned Translink operates. We call on her to intervene and stop Translink from making these cuts today.
