A major public transport plan with extra buses and trains will be in place next week for the Open Championship golf tournament in Portrush.<\/p>\n
The 153rd Open will be held at Royal Portrush from July 13 to 20 and, with well over a quarter of a million visitors expected, travel advice <\/a>has now been issued by Translink<\/a>.<\/p>\n The public transport provider is urging anyone heading to the seaside town during the tournament – especially during the crunch championship days from July 17 to 20 – to plan their travel in advance and leave extra time for their journey.<\/p>\n A Translink spokesperson said: “Every available train, coach and bus will be in operation to accommodate thousands of additional passengers. Customers should expect services to be busy, particularly during the main championship days.”<\/p>\n Translink\u2019s Sarah Simpson, said: \u201cAfter the success of 2019, we\u2019re looking forward to The Open\u2019s return to Northern Ireland. With huge numbers of fans heading to the Causeway Coast to watch the world\u2019s greatest golfers, public transport will once again play a vital role in showcasing this area to a huge audience.<\/p>\n \u201cOur extensive transport plan provides extra capacity for over 115,000 passengers travelling to and around Portrush for this world-class sporting event, offering spectators plenty of choice and convenience, reducing traffic congestion and ensuring visitors enjoy their trip to this stunning visitor destination.<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be enhanced train capacity & frequency including additional services to Portrush & late evening return services. Special bus and coach services are also available in addition to normal Goldliner services and our popular Ulsterbus 140 service travelling between Coleraine<\/a> and Portrush<\/a> will also be enhanced.”<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI would encourage anyone heading to The Open to visit our website for travel options and make the most of their time on the Causeway Coast.”<\/p>\n Park & Ride<\/strong> details available at TheOpen.com<\/p>\n Train Services<\/strong><\/p>\n Coach \/ Bus Services<\/strong><\/p>\n The T Zone<\/strong><\/p>\n Key Facts \u2013 Translink ~ The 153rd Open<\/strong><\/p>\n Train Provision<\/strong><\/p>\n Park & Ride service<\/strong><\/p>\n Property<\/strong><\/p>\n For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage <\/strong>here<\/a> and sign up to our daily newsletter<\/a> here.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Every available train, coach and bus will be in operation” say Translink 10:40, 08 Jul 2025Updated 10:40, 08…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[78922,2826,81144,29102,79,83701,760,83169,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-247883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-co-antrim","9":"tag-golf","10":"tag-in-the-know","11":"tag-portrush","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-the-open-championship","14":"tag-traffic-and-travel","15":"tag-translink","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114817413031571985","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
