New bus lanes on Boyne Bridge Place and Hope Street in Belfast began operation on Monday 9 November 2026.

The lanes will operate Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm, and are intended to improve the movement of public transport around Grand Central Station as final works in the area conclude.

During the hours of operation, the lanes will be available to buses, motorcycles, bicycles and permitted taxis. At all other times, all vehicles may use them.

The lanes are marked with white lines and associated signage. Road users have been asked to follow the signage and not obstruct the bus lanes.

Enforcement will be in place to ensure traffic flows as intended.
