Hi, all!
I was filming this in anticipation of Railtours Ireland 'Emerald Pullman' arriving to whisk travelers back to Dublin. Little did I know that it had instead been scheduled to arrive at Belfast's other station, Lanyon place, for much later in the day! Anyways, enjoy the view of the station from the soon-to-be-demolished Boyne Bridge and of course, the view onto the future Belfast Transport Hub, Belfast Grand Central Station at the Weavers Cross construction site. If you enjoyed this video, leave a thumbs up or subscribe!
Thanks, -Connor.

Information about Great Victoria Street station (from Wikipedia):
Great Victoria Street is a railway station serving the city centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is one of two major stations in the city, along with Lanyon Place, and is one of the four stations located in the city centre, the others being Lanyon Place, Botanic and City Hospital. It is situated near Great Victoria Street, one of Belfast's premier commercial zones, and Sandy Row. It is also in a more central position than Lanyon Place (ironically named Belfast Central until September 2018), with the Europa Hotel, Grand Opera House and The Crown Liquor Saloon all nearby. Great Victoria Street station shares a site with Europa Buscentre, the primary bus station serving Belfast City Centre. It will be replaced by Belfast Grand Central station, a combined bus and railway station, by 2025.
In April 1976 Northern Ireland Railways closed both Great Victoria Street and the Belfast Queen's Quay terminus of the Bangor line and replaced them both with a new Belfast Central Station, now renamed Lanyon Place. The remainder of Great Victoria Street station was demolished. After a feasibility study was commissioned in 1986 it was agreed that a new development on the site, incorporating the reintroduction of the Great Northern Railway, was viable. The Great Northern Tower had already been built on the site of the old station terminus in 1992, and so the second Great Victoria Street Station was built behind the tower block, yards from the site of its predecessor. The new station was opened on 30 September 1995.
