Special Ballymoney transport plans for Vital 2016
With over 50,000 music fans expected at Tennent’s Vital, Translink and festival organisers MCD are encouraging people to use train travel to South Belfast including special late night return services to bring people safely home.
Translink’s Claire Vaux says public transport is the smart move to get to and from the events: “Tennent’s Vital is one of Northern Ireland’s flagship music events always attracting the most popular acts so we’ve put in place attractive travel options for convenient and reliable journeys to and from the festival site.

Late night return rail shuttles will run from 10.45pm – 11.45pm following each concert running from Balmoral to Great Victoria Street and onward to Ballymoney at midnight. Concert-goers should leave plenty of time to make this connection.
“We hope everyone enjoys a great night out but would remind passengers that alcohol consumption and smoking are strictly not permitted on trains, coaches and buses. Anyone who appears to be intoxicated may be refused travel,” said Claire.
