Translink Youth Form
"Translink Youth Forum are delighted to welcome this future investment to add to the Transport services in Northern Ireland. The new Belfast Grand Central Station will create new employment opportunities in local areas and promote more connectivity throughout Northern Ireland.
Overall, this is an amazing investment that will bring more to our city, we hope in turn this will provide the space for new bus and rail routes and further investments into other areas that will again add value to our Transport Services and benefit Young people."
Michael Lorimer (IMTAC)
"Imtac sees Belfast Grand Central Station as a significant step forward in making our public transport system more inclusive and accessible for everyone. In addition to significant enhancements to the provision for bus and rail services, Grand Central will deliver features that make it an exemplar in relation to accessibility.
These features include Changing Places Toilets, provision of sensory space, innovative wayfinding systems, an Assistance Dog spending area and provision for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) parking. A key factor in the ongoing success of the project has been the active involvement of Deaf people, disabled people and others in the design and construction of the station."
Clare Pollock (Sustrans)
"The development of the new grand central station presents an opportunity for people to rethink how they travel and to choose sustainable modes. Active and sustainable travel has so many benefits to health, household budgets, wellbeing and the climate, we would encourage everyone to build active travel into their daily travel routine."
Damien Corr (Cathedral Quarter BID)
“Grand Central Station is an indicator of what Belfast has to offer; the significantly enhanced services can only mean one thing – more people are going to come to Belfast”
Christopher McCracken (Linen Quarter BID)
“Great Victoria Street to Shaftsbury Square is an area that has been crying out for regeneration for around two decades. Projects like this will help reduce our carbon footprints and emissions thereby improving air quality across the city.”
Eimear McCracken (Belfast One BID)
“Belfast Grand Central Station is a world class facility, the first of its kind on the island of Ireland, and will be a generator of health and wealth and will have an impact throughout Northern Ireland and on southern corridors to Dublin.”
Matthew Hall (Belfast City Airport)
"As the UK and Ireland's Most Convenient Airport, Belfast City Airport is proud to support the vital redevelopment of Belfast's Grand Central Station. As Belfast's infrastructure evolves, so does its appeal to visitors. The modernisation of Grand Central Station is not just an investment in transport - it's an investment in the prosperity of Belfast and Northern Ireland, paving the way for enhanced tourism, economic growth, and a thriving future for our region.”
