00:00 I'm Chris Conway, I'm the Chief Executive of TransLink and we're here today doing the

00:17 first visit to the inside of the new Belfast Grand Central station and giving people a

00:22 view of what the station is going to look like.

00:25 It's going to cater for 8 platforms, 26 bus stands and over 20 million passenger journeys

00:31 a year which will transform public transport in Northern Ireland.

00:35 We believe that this will regenerate everything from here, Grovner Road, Sandy Road, down

00:40 to Great Victoria Street.

00:41 We'll be doing a lot of public realm down Grovner Road, down Glingall Street, down Hope

00:45 Street so it will stitch this part of the city back into the city centre again which

00:49 it hasn't been for many years.

00:52 But it also is one of the biggest civil engineering projects we've seen in Belfast, for as obvious

00:57 as the west of the Woodville.
