The Grand Connection: Behind the Scenes at Belfast Grand Central Station (2)

A busy summer lies ahead for the people working on the construction of Belfast Grand Central Station 🚆
The second video in our Grand Connections series showcases those leading the development of the largest fully integrated transport hub on island of Ireland.
Translink’s Duncan McAllister and Farrans Sacyr’s Duane McCreadie, give an insight into some of the works progressing at pace 👷🏼‍♂️
A Grand Welcome awaits this Autumn…

The aerial view shows how neatly the lines from the eight platforms will pass under the bus bridge and then on to the two diverging routes at Westlink Junction.

Lovely new modern station unlike the kips in dublin connolly and heuston 😅

The idea that the lovely improved (8 platforms now and a magnificently extended concourse) Heuston Station in Dublin is a kip is bizarre. (Heuston also has two Luas platforms.) With the magnificent Belfast Grand Central Station, Belfast will thankfully have something of about the same standard as Heuston, but it does not exceed Heuston's exterior beauty, and inside functionality, spaciousness and platform capacity.
