Belfast Central Station To Be Renamed Lanyon Place
Belfast Central Station is to be renamed Lanyon Place from September, Translink has confirmed.
The station will also undergo improvement works to modernise the entrance.
Chris Conway, Translink Group Chief Executive, said: "Attractive, high quality passenger facilities play an important role in delivering the Programme for Government objective of increasing the use of public transport and active travel.
"Over 2.6 million passengers used the station last year, and this work will provide a new modern, more welcoming frontage to replace the current 'blast wall', enhancements to the ticketing area, improved retail/café offerings and the provision of a new Belfast Bike dock.
"When the work is completed it will enhance the overall passenger experience and also support the rapid regeneration of the surrounding area. We would also hope to attract some of the 8,000+ employees from the surrounding offices to use public transport if they are not already doing so.
"The Lanyon Place area has become a major hub of activity, with the 'Lanyon' name being adopted by a range of neighbouring businesses, alongside Belfast City Council’s exciting plans for the Lanyon Tunnels."
