Belfast Central railway station serves the city of Belfast in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Located on East Bridge Street in the city, Central is home to popular inter-city Enterprise service to Dublin Connolly, which runs every two hours. As well as this service, Central is also served by Northern Ireland Railways, who operate routes to other locations in Northern Ireland, including Derry, Bangor, Portadown and Larne.
Regular services also operate between Central and the City's other main stations; Great Victoria Street, Botanic and City Hospital. Intending passengers travelling to and from Central are at present, upon presentation of a valid rail ticket, permitted to travel at no cost on Belfast's Metro service to the city centre.
Following numerous attacks during the Troubles, the station has underwent a major overhaul in recent years.
