In addition Larne Town station will also benefit from a new ticket office, refurbished waiting room and toilet facilities for passengers with all levels of mobility. The upgrade work will deliver enhanced accessibility for disabled passengers and improve the environment and journey experience for all passengers.
Councillor Bobby McKee, Mayor of Larne Borough Council, David Hilditch MLA, Sean Neeson MLA and Roy Beggs MLA viewed the site works in progress at Glynn and Larne stations, and were briefed on upcoming developments.
Larne Line Route Manager, Frank Moore said, “It is a very exciting time for N I Railways, and as such it is extremely important for local representatives to see the steps we are taking to upgrade our facilities, for the local communities that they represent. We would like to thank the Mayor and local representatives for taking this opportunity to visit Glynn and Larne Town stations.”
