The view from the Fountain Street overbridge towards Antrim station Image At the time, Londonderry line trains ran to Belfast York Road station Image via Monkstown Image In 1978 services were diverted to run, via Lisburn Image to Belfast Central. There was a short-lived local service over the line in 1980/81 after which it was used mainly for transfer of rolling stock. With the opening of the cross-harbour line in Belfast Image and the re-opening of Belfast Gt Victoria Street Image the route is now back in use (albeit as a single line). The train is the 12.25 Londonderry – Belfast York Road composed of MPD railcars 52,542 and 60.
