Here we go again: DfI spending £0.78m on the conversion of a hard shoulder in a rural area into a shared use path that will be seldom used, because it doesn’t link people to any facilities. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Build the infrastructure where people will use it! 🤬 @cyculcc @CircleLineBT

The feasibility report to reopen the Knockmore Line was due months ago. When I followed up again, I’ve been told it’ll be published “in the coming months.” That’s just not good enough. This project has been years in the making it’s time to move to progress. @CircleLineBT

100 miles up the road… 20 years ahead.

We've transformed our city in many ways in the last five years. This street used to be full of cars. Now there's music, laughter, food, people sitting down. Life slows down a little bit on Parliament Street.

That is a strong arguement, which is reinforced by the fact that all 3 of our airports have train lines passing near by.

✈️ When Stansted Airport got its rail link in 1991, it handled just over 1 million passengers a year. Between them, Belfast’s two airports serve 9 million passengers a year - but neither has a working rail connection. Anyone who thinks our airports don’t have the numbers to…

The reopening of the Western Rail Corridor shows what years of local advocacy can achieve - even in the face of doubt and delay. It’s a reminder that every rail campaign matters. Change only happens when people keep pushing for it. #WesternRailCorridor #BelfastCircleLine

My walking shoes have been a great investment! I have absolutely no expectation of a reliable late afternoon bus service on 9, 8 or 7 bus routes.


There should be a Cathedral Quarter Train Station in this picture. Change my mind.

Belfast CC has now issued a decision notice granting Elkstone planning permission for 895 student units on Corporation St. It follows the signing of a s76 agreement in recent days. Under the approval, Elkstone can use up to 50% of rooms for tourist accommodation outside term time
