Answer

Translink has made me aware of difficulties it is experiencing with its internal IT systems. I am receiving regular updates and the incident has been reported to the PSNI. While Translink are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, bus and train services have not been affected. Translink’s website and journey planner are also not affected.

Investigations are ongoing, however, there is no evidence that any data has been compromised
