Additional information on the overall plan for development in Lisburn West can be found in the West Lisburn Development Framework, Chapter 4.2 Infrastructure and Transport, Designation WL3 – West Lisburn train halt & Park & Ride facility. Potential for an additional station at Maze is also mentioned in the document, though this is likely to be dependent on development at the Maze/Long Kesh site.

Lisburn West Station is designed to be a major Park and Ride and transport hub (i.e. bus feeder services) for the west of the city. Traffic in the area is very heavy and hopefully a P&R facility can lure drivers out of their cars.

The site has already been cleared, but progress has been slow due to a lack of a final “go” and funding. The Investment Strategy Northern Ireland data says the project is at the “Pre Procurement” stage.
