In Belfast, main works start on the new Grand Central Station – a modern world-class integrated transport hub – situated on the existing Europa Buscentre/Great Victoria Street Station site. The surrounding Weavers Cross area will feature impressive mixed use development opportunities across an eight-hectare site, acting as a catalyst for regeneration.
