New £200m station hub set to transform Northern Ireland's public transport

Описание: Construction work on a new £200 million transport hub for Belfast is entering its final phases and is set to transform Northern Ireland's public transport network.

The new bus and rail centre, to be known as Belfast Grand Central Station, will be the largest integrated transport facility on the island of Ireland and one of the biggest in the UK when it opens in late 2024.

Situated on Translink property near the current Europa Buscentre and Great Victoria Street train stations, the new station will be around 10 times the size once complete and will cater for up to 20 million passenger journeys a year.
The number of rail platforms will double from four to eight while the number of bus stands will increase to 26 as well as facilities for bicycles and taxis.
Belfast Grand Central Station will also become the new home for the cross-border Enterprise train service to Dublin, which will relocate from its current base at nearby Lanyon Place.
