    Firstly good video. The station definitely has an airport feel to it and I like the natural light. The station could definitely do with some palm tree to soften it a bit, but I love the connects between trains and buses, in bad weather they will help passengers no end.

    Interesting. I didn’t know about this. We visited Belfast back in May and our bus stopped at the Europa bus centre. Do you know what will happen the building of the now closed Europa bus centre?

      I'm not entirely sure. I don't think they've announced any plans to demolish it. Maybe Translink will sell it off.

      They are demolishing it. The station platforms and track were ripped up from May this year. They are also going to demolish the Boyne Bridge.

    I can't help but find it all rather empty and sterile. I hope they eventually install more seating, plant life, art, etc, to give it a bit more life, it doesn't look like the sort of place that one would want to spend more time than is absolutely necessary at present.

      @@jakezyx It could use a few more touches to jazz it up a bit. Though as someone who hates crowded places I found myself really liking the amount of open space. Architecturally, I still much prefer the look of stations from the 19th century over sleek, modern minimalism.
