This is footage I shot of demolition work being undertaken at the former Great Victoria Street station in Belfast city centre, Northern Ireland.
The station permanently closed on Friday 10th May 2024, with the final train being the 2332 to Bangor.
Since then, the station has been awaiting demolition, as part of works to construct a brand new state-of-the-art transport hub known as Belfast Grand Central, due to open in the autumn of 2024, the large glass building visible on the right hand side.
In this footage, you can see that the tracks have been removed and the ballast is being filled in to create space for new bus stands.
The tracks will run from just behind the station building, and are located beneath the new busway bridge in the distance.
The bridge I took this footage from, the 1936 built Boyne Bridge, will also be demolished in a few weeks time, once the former station building has been torn down. The street will then be repaved at ground level as part of the new development.
Stay tuned for further updates!
