The improvements will involve the removal of the existing Belfast-bound platform and its relocation to the opposite side of A1 Queensway Road. This will facilitate the construction of a new platform with a new accessibility ramp. The south-bound platform will also be extended southwards.
Project Manager Aidan Smyth said: “In recent years we have witnessed an increase in passenger numbers using Derriaghy Train Station, and there has been a clear need to meet growing customer demand, increase transport connectivity and enhance the customer experience as even more people choose to use public transport.
