Central station, Belfast
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Central station, Belfast. If truth be told, Belfast Central has more than a touch of the "problem for every solution" about it. Built on the site of the old Maysfields livestock sidings, it owes its existence to the Westlink road 498780. The road, as originally conceived, was to have been elevated and would have cut through part of the existing Gt Victoria Street station. The public enquiry rejected that plan but Gt Victoria Street had been closed and the disused Central line had been re-opened and the station built. It had the advantage of allowing through running between the Bangor and Dublin lines. The disadvantages are its remoteness from the commercial centre, a tight curve meaning wide gaps between the platform and trains and lack of proper pick up/set down accommodation. It opened in April 1976. The solution was to re-open Gt Victoria Street 354922 (but not for Dublin trains). |
