Sunday will see the opening of the new world class station, signalling a new era for public transport in Northern Ireland.
After more than four years in construction, Northern Ireland 's new £340million public transport hub will finally open its doors to its first bus passengers early on Sunday morning.
The transport hub has been in the planning before construction for more than a decade and is the largest infrastructure project in Northern Ireland and one of the largest in the UK but it has faced challenges including increases in the cost of materials and the Covid-19 pandemic. Initial predictions had put the cost of delivering the project at £200m but earlier this year, Stormont's Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd said a full business case was approved in November 2021 at a cost of £295m but that the latest estimate is £340m, citing "extraordinary inflation".
