Translink has been accused of treating Derry as 'second best' following a raft of recent disruptions on the line from Belfast to the North West city.
Rail lobby group Into the West said that they were "dismayed" that Translink continued to divert trains on the Belfast- Derry line to Portrush seemingly "whenever the mood takes them".
The anger and frustration comes after the service was terminated at Coleraine and passengers on board had to be transferred to Derry by bus.
