The Glider is not the only piece North Belfast is missing. How to better integrate York Street Train Station with North Belfast and the Titanic Quarter? Ans: Cycling and walking. www.facebook.com/share/p/1A5s...

🚆 Oh wow, a 50% increase in Belfast-Dublin train passengers after doubling the service—who could’ve guessed? 🙃 Maybe investing in reliable, frequent, and affordable public transport actually works? Shocking. 1/2

People use trains when they’re reliable and frequent. The 50% jump in Belfast-Dublin rail passengers proves it. A Belfast Circle Line could unlock that same potential locally - boosting the economy and improving access to jobs and opportunities. BUILD the Circle Line already!

How to connect North Belfast and Giant's Park with the rail network and revitalize a forgotten part of Belfast? Ans: BUILD the Circle Line already! www.facebook.com/share/p/15iG...

Disappointed to see some heritage rail volunteers continue to attack the Belfast Circle Line campaign. Instead of working together to push for better rail solutions in NI, they’d rather tear down ideas that could benefit everyone. Constructive debate is welcome - trolling is not.

🚊Thinking Outside the Tracks: Alternative Solutions for the Belfast Circle Line 🚊 When people imagine new rail infrastructure, they often picture large-scale, traditional train models like those used by @nirailways. But what if we thought beyond conventional methods?

Is this further proof that @translinkni.bsky.social and @deptinfra.bsky.social will be reopening the Knockmore Line(Antrim-Lisburn)? @translinkni.bsky.social have plans for a new Ballast Cleaning Depot in Ballinderry. Could a few Circle Line trains be parked there as well?

We're going to need a bigger bus... When people say that "Belfast Intl Airport doesn't need a train service, the bus is good enough", show them this - an oversubscribed bus service. BUILD the Circle Line already and connect Belfast Intl Airport with Belfast City Centre and Greater Belfast.

With a booming population, isn't it time Ballyclare was reconnected to @nirailways? Ballyclare is <3 miles from Bleach Green Line. A spur from the line to a new station at bottom of the Mill Road could be built for less than a Ballynure Bypass. BUILD the Circle Line already!

Both Belfast International Airport and Belfast City Airport should be connected with railway. Change my mind.

Belfast: Build the @circlelinebt.bsky.social already! (And close off rat runs)

BUILD the Circle Line already!

Could 2025 be the year Crumlin sees a return of rail services? #openKnockmore

Happy New Year folks. Many thanks for all the support in 2024. It's 2025, let's BUILD the Circle Line already.

#BelfastTraffic: imagine if more people who lived in the Circle on the left had access to the "Circle" on the right? Circle Line: services every 15 minutes from 6am to Midnight and later on weekends.

Guest Blog for @pivotalppf.bsky.social: How to solve a problem like Belfast traffic? Spoiler: It isn't opening up bus lanes to everyone with a steering wheel.

Hopefully another 100 years will not pass before connecting Belfast International Airport with railway.

BUILD the Circle Line already and connect both Belfast International Airport and Belfast City Airport, to Greater Belfast and 300k people living within 1 mile of a station.

Every time. The solution is still the same. More fans arriving by train but the frequency of service currently doesn't exist. BUILD the Circle Line already with services every 15 minutes in either direction arriving at Adelaide Train Station(Windsor Park).

BUILD the Circle Line already!
