This will be the first major event in the city since the Derry-Coleraine line was closed on July 29th until April 2013 for track maintenance and upgrade activity.
During this time, a revised timetable (bus substitution services) will operate between Derry~Londonderry and Coleraine.

Rail Route Manager, Frank Moore said, “We will be operating additional buses on August 11th to accommodate the increased passenger numbers travelling to and from the parades on the day.
“In order to ensure that everyone enjoys the day and to avoid incidences of antisocial behaviour, passengers found to be carrying alcohol will have it confiscated by members of the rail team. We will be working closely in partnership with the PSNI and will have extra security staff at Coleraine and Londonderry stations to help enforce the ban.”
