Belfast Grand Central station is an under-construction railway station and bus station in the city centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It will replace Great Victoria Street railway station and the Europa Buscentre;[4][5] it is being built next to them, in a new neighbourhood called Weaver's Cross.[6] Grand Central is expected to open in Autumn 2024, several months after the old railway station closed on 10th May.[7]
