The station is closing next month
Belfast's Great Victoria Street train station is closing on May 10 and the disruption has garnered a mixed reaction from users.
We headed along to Great Victoria train station to see what passengers think about the closure. Eileen Anderson from Coleraine says she uses Great Victoria Street when she travels to Belfast.The closure might pose some difficulties for as her "friend lives up here" and they would use Great Victoria Street "if we are going to shows".
He added: "I don't think they have any option only to do it. It's all going to be for the better at the end of the day." "Bottom line - I'm not happy. There's a bus but it's not handy for me. It's totally inconvenient. I'm retired but once a week or twice a week . He added: "For people my age and my demographic, I'd say that being closed until autumn is a disgrace for trying to get about."That would be the main stress and struggle for someone like me."
A number of road closures will also be in place around the Great Victoria Street area over the coming months as work on the new station progresses.
