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.
