Support For Ballymoney Rail Line Work
North Antrim elected representatives have gone on site to view the work underway at Ballymoney rail station, which is part of a wider upgrade programme across the Derry line.
The work, being carried out at all stations and halts on the NI Railways network, is part of a £17 million investment package designed to deliver a better rail service.
Ballymoney station will benefit from a range of enhancements including, new signage, shelters, lighting, seating and re-surfacing. The upgrade work will deliver enhanced accessibility for disabled passengers and improve the environment and journey experience for all passengers.
Councillor John Finlay, Mayor of Ballymoney Borough Council and Declan O'Loan MLA, viewed the site works in progress at Ballymoney station, and were briefed on upcoming developments.
Derry Line Route Manager, Frank Moore said: "It is a very exciting time for NI Railways, and as such it is extremely important for local representatives to see the steps we are taking to upgrade our facilities, for the local communities that they represent. We would like to thank the Mayor and local representatives for taking this opportunity to visit Ballymoney station."
