Many changes have taken place since 1982. This shows approximately the same view now Image The building at bottom right was the then terminal building and can be still seen at bottom left in Image The view is from the “Antrim Princess” on the 19.00 sailing to Stranraer where it connected with the sleeper for Euston. The gantry crane and the containers used to convey parcels and mail from Belfast York Road can be seen at top left. The car park (middle/top right) is now the Fleetwood marshalling area. At top right (by the bushes below the factory) were the remains of WWII air-raid shelters. The car park had once been the site of pens and mixed-gauge sidings for livestock traffic. By 1982, however, all traces of the narrow-gauge lines for bauxite traffic had gone.
