Commuter Rail Chaos
There's no Dublin-Belfast Enterprise express - or indeed any trains - running this morning on a section of railway line between Moira and Portadown.
The section of track has been closed because of a security alert.
Translink have said a bus substitution service is in operation for passengers between Lisburn and Portadown - with trains running on the remaining sections.
This morning police are continuing to examine the railway track between the two towns.
Translink has announced that passengers can travel on scheduled Ulsterbus services from Lurgan and Portadown with a valid rail ticket.
Meanwhile, there were delays on the Upper Newtownards Road where a water pipe has burst and the road surface has been damaged.
The rush hour disruption was just at the gates of the Stormont Assembly.
