A relaxing dander along the coast of Belfast Lough, featuring a short detour into Crawfordsburn Country Park to look at a viaduct. Expect a lot of water. "Lough" is pronounced like "Lock", if you're wondering.

    Firstly good video. The station definitely has an airport feel to it and I like the natural light. The station could definitely do with some palm tree to soften it a bit, but I love the connects between trains and buses, in bad weather they will help passengers no end.

    Enjoyed your video. Pity it was so wet for you, but it added to the atmosphere! I can remember being in the old Killynether house as a child with my grandfather at a time when it had been vandalised. Big rooms, wooden floor boards and very high ceilings. It probably would have cost a fortune to restore, and it wasn't the done thing back them anyway.

    I can't help but find it all rather empty and sterile. I hope they eventually install more seating, plant life, art, etc, to give it a bit more life, it doesn't look like the sort of place that one would want to spend more time than is absolutely necessary at present.

      @@jakezyx It could use a few more touches to jazz it up a bit. Though as someone who hates crowded places I found myself really liking the amount of open space. Architecturally, I still much prefer the look of stations from the 19th century over sleek, modern minimalism.
