New Aldergrove Rail Link Planned
English company Kildare plans to start Belfast-Aldergrove train service.
Not much detail yet, but plans are currently being drawn up to re-open the Lisburn to Antrim railway line, closed since 2003, with an extension from Antrim to Belfast International Airport, which is about to see an increase in passenger numbers when Aer Lingus begin running flights there.
Kilbride, the company behind it, has also been responsible for re-opening disused lines on the mainland and have had preliminary meetings with MLAs. Imagine a train-link from the capital city to the international airport; it's almost as if it's the 21st century! Long overdue, but very welcome.
