The all encompassing mega thread on the Posnett Street Clanmill Social housing develpment planned for a former car park just off botanic avenue and why I believe it should be refused planning permission. 🧵 Link to Application …nningregister.planningsystemni.gov.uk/application/67…

You know i thought Welsh Rail network was bad (getting better now), here is the Irish one, used to be so much better it seems, you would think there could be more lines for the rest of the island for major cities like Cork or northwest Ulster too...

Level boarding shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be the standard. What Stansted Express shows is simple: when rail is directly connected to airports and designed properly, it works for everyone. Now imagine that for Belfast: • Direct rail links to both airports • Step-free, level boarding from platform to train • No reliance on inaccessible buses or drop-offs • Faster, more reliable journeys Connecting Belfast’s airports to the rail network isn’t just about convenience. It’s about dignity, accessibility, and a modern transport system that includes everyone. #BelfastCircleLine #AccessibleTransport

The one good thing about flying into Stansted is I get to travel on the level boarding Stansted Express @ImtacNI @deptinfra

Important to note: while 1000+ new parking spaces are being added along the Derry Line (Ballymena, Bellarena & Mossley West), there are no plans from @Translink_NI to increase train services. More demand + no extra capacity = predictable outcome. Expect plenty of "standing room only" 🚆 @Into_The_West @bradley_steve

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 at Ballymena’s new Park & Ride expansion 🚧 Works are moving ahead at pace at Ballymena Bus & Rail Station, with FP McCann confirming that major drainage infrastructure — including storm water attenuation and mainline drainage — has now been completed. Construction teams have now moved into the next phase, with acoustic and boundary fencing, ducting, kerbing and landscaping works all under way, while subbase materials continue to be imported, laid and compacted. Once complete, the upgraded facility will deliver 392 additional safe and secure parking spaces, taking total capacity at the station to more than 600 spaces. The new site will also include: • CCTV and security fencing • low-impact floodlighting • full accessibility for all users • covered cycle shelters to support active travel A major boost for commuters and rail users across Ballymena as work continues to take shape.

The Fleadh isn’t just a festival, it’s a live test of how Belfast could work We should be measuring: • How pedestrianisation performs at scale • The role of street vendors in animating the city • How well disabled access is supported in a car-free core • Whether late-night public transport meets real demand beyond Fri/Sat 700,000 people will give us the data The mistake would be treating this as temporary instead of learning from it.

So few children cycle to school in Northern Ireland that Stormont's statistics agency has had to stop reporting the number in case it identifies individuals. irishnews.com/opinion/newton…

The evidence is clear: taller buildings make cities more productive, compact and efficient. So why aren’t we building real density around Belfast’s train stations? If we want a successful city, we need homes where the trains are, not more sprawl. Transport and housing should be planned together.

Is that it?! When I heard there was grumbling and pearl clutching about pedestrianising streets for a massive event I wondered what all the fuss was about and now I can see it’s only city hall to the art college I have two words for the grumblers whoever they are. WISE UP.

Absolute bullshit In a city centre site 15 mins walk from nearly every major amenity Belfast has to offer 50 odd town houses ain’t going to cut it anymore I’m afraid. Plus figures show more individuals and couples are in need of housing than families and apartments work perfect

This is the case for so much infrastructure we rely on in modern England There’s been little major infrastructure improvement around public transportation when there should’ve been loads
Sanjiv Kapoor@TheSanjivKapoor

It is mind-boggling to think these tunnels under Piccadilly Circus tube station were built in 1906, and the elaborate station complex above it, complete with escalators and deep lifts, in 1928. And it is still in operation today. #London

This is genuinely such an insanely shit attitude. People drive everywhere because the public transport here is not very good, if it was better, more people would use it. What about people who dont have cars? They need to rely on public transport. Everywhere, trains are needed.
Pistachio 🇮🇷 🇵🇸@HarleyShah

London is also not a driveable city, when I've been up north even in cities like Manchester I have asked how to get around on public transport and locals literally don't know because they drive everywhere. You really don't need that many trains lol

Services at Lanyon Station are so infrequent that it no longer makes sense to turn on the LED display. This place is painful.

Land NI's main airport 8:30pm on Sunday & public transprt to its 2nd city is almost zero. Last train Belfst-Derry 7:10pm so can't get train at Antrim (tho can to Coleraine). Last 212 bus leaves Bfast 9:15pm, so too early. Only option is 100min wait for @Aircoach🤷‍♂️ A complete joke
