Belfast Transport Hub planning underway [Railway Gazette]
Date: 13/03/2016
UK: Northern Ireland public transport agency Translink is developing plans for an extensive redevelopment of Belfast Great Victoria Street station and the adjacent bus station to form an integrated Belfast Transport Hub with rail, bus, cycle, taxi and car facilities. The current rail and bus stations handle seven million passengers/year, and this is predicted to reach 13 million by 2030. While government and European funding is still to be agreed and planning permission has to be sought for the Hub project, initial site clearance has begun and Translink envisages that construction could start in 2018 for opening in the early to mid-2020s.
