EP, in partnership with SLC were instructed by AECOM on behalf of Translink to examine the feasibility of reopening the former railway line linking Portadown to Armagh and the construction of new railway stations.
As part of this instruction we prepared a desk-based preliminary planning appraisal report to identify relevant local development plan policies, site constraints and other material considerations that may influence the development potential of the scheme.
This assessment is informing the possible specific station locations which are being considered as part of this stage of feasibility. We are hopeful that the work will contribute to realisation of long term ambitions to boost connectivity across Northern Ireland.
