Abstract

A derelict 150-year-old railway station building in Northern Ireland has been reborn as a state-of-the-art multimodal transport hub with integrated rail, bus and active travel facilities. The 1875 Waterside Station in Derry/Londonderry was abandoned after bomb damage in the 1970s, and its hastily built replacement nearby soon reached capacity. A European Union-funded project has restored the old rail terminus to its former role and added a bus station, park-and-ride facility and links to the city’s greenways for cyclists and pedestrians. This paper provides an overview of the North West Transport Hub project, from inception to completion in 2022.
