Loyalists torch Metro bus in Rathcoole on Sunday evening
On Monday a number of services across the bus network were altered and cancelled over driver safety concerns.
Translink said there will still be some minor diversions remaining in place for routes in and out of Belfast and a number of the city’s Metro services will continue to be suspended from 6.30pm.
A Translink spokesperson said Metro services on the Antrim Road, Shore Road, Shankill Road, Crumlin Road and Newtownards Road will all be suspended in the evening, while there will be diversions on some other routes and the Glider’s east Belfast routes.
They said rail services will continue to operate as normal.
In a statement, Translink’s director of service operations Ian Campbell said: “Safety remains our top priority and we are working hard to get services back to normal as quickly as possible for our passengers.
“We would like to thank the public for the many messages of concern and support, particularly for our bus drivers. These are very welcome as we work through these difficult circumstances.
“We will continue to monitor and liaise with the PSNI, our Trade Union colleagues and local communities to reassess the situation daily.
“As we safely move to reinstating services, we will keep everyone updated through our website www.translink.co.uk , Twitter or call the contact centre on 028 90 66 66 30 to get the latest service information before you travel.”
