Dear Sir or Madam,
Your Department is currently producing plans to build the Eway on
the old track-bed of the Belfast & County Down Railway (BCDR) out
of Belfast towards Dundonald.
Are you aware that there are still remnants of the Neills Hill
railway station still in existence some 58 years following closure
i.e.: a platform on one side? These remnants are the old piece of
the former BCDR still in existence along the Eway route.
Can you advise if there are any plans to repair and retain any of
these platforms at Neills Hill station?
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Yours faithfully,
Gavin Bamford
