“Given the Company's strategic objectives and future developments, the directors recognise that security of a long-term funding strategy is key. On 1 April 2022 Translink and Dfl signed a service agreement for the provision of public transport services for at least five years. This agreement... includes a commitment that payment for these services will be maintained at such a level to ensure that as a minimum Translink is able to meet its going concern obligations. On this basis, the directors believe that it is reasonable to assume that the Company has and will continue to have adequate resources to meet its anticipated liabilities as they fall due and to enable it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Board has concluded that it is appropriate that the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “In September 2024 we welcomed the bus operational opening of Belfast Grand Central Station, shortly followed by the rail opening in mid-October 2024. Feedback from customers and visitors has been very positive.”
- “In August 2022 we welcomed Belfast City Council's decision to approve plans for Weavers Cross, a significant transport-led regeneration project around the site of the new Belfast Grand Central station, which promises to bring circa 1.5 million square feet of mixed-use space to a strategic location in central Belfast.”
- “In August 2024 we completed our roll out of contactless payments on all Ulsterbus and Goldline services across Northern Ireland, enabling faster boarding and an enhanced customer experience.”
