Looks good and must pay it a visit some day in June. -
Victoria Road has the station building in good condition and well.incorporated in business premises. The former goods buildings and other railway infrastructure are still there after 66 years. Some of these were protected by listed building status. This housing application first made in 2014 and refused more than once Then Derry City Council applied to get some of the station buildings delisted a few years back and achieved this despite local opposition. Now 3 years after that this horrible and crammed housing development got approval on appeal. As they say about planning laws in NI Money Talks!

Thought that the episode last night was the worse one yet with the suggestion that the Giant Causeway Tramway ran to Larne Dread to think what they will do the Dundalk Newry and Greenore next week! Have contacted them over photos supplied and used such as Swilly images used for Waterford and CDR for Achill Narrow Gauge line but with no joy!

The Engineering business were being sued by the SRPS who won their case for poor work and were awarded substantial damages that contributed to the Compamy being wound up. -
