Ballymoney councillor says town is the only one in NI without a bus station
A Ballymoney councillor says a bus station is needed to replace “glorified bus shelters” in the town.
At this month’s Leisure and Development Committee meeting, DUP Councillor Mervyn Storey said Ballymoney was the only regional town in Northern Ireland without a bus station.
“There was a plan that Translink conveniently have now binned to have a transport provision,” he said. “We have two glorified bus shelters, at Riada House and on the Kilraughts Road.”
“The train from Londonderry to Belfast is a huge success, it grows year on year, but if you come off the train in Ballymoney and you want a bus to Ballycastle you have to walk up either to the Kilraughts Road and get soaked, because they don’t even have a shelter out there, or go up to Charles Street and stand at the two glorified bus shelters.
“I’ve said to Translink before that it’s totally unacceptable.“
