Great Victoria Street was a railway station that served the city centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

[6] The station was on the site of a former linen mill, beside where Durham Street crossed the Blackstaff River at the Saltwater (now Boyne) Bridge.

In 1855 the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway was completed,[19] making Victoria Street the terminus for one of the most important main lines in Ireland.

This was one of 20 bombs that exploded that day, planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in an event that became known as Bloody Friday[23] In April 1976 Northern Ireland Railways closed both Great Victoria Street[21] 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.

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.

[citation needed] On Sundays, the Bangor, Larne, and Portadown Line services all reduced to hourly operation.

[citation needed] Railway access from Great Victoria Street at Sydenham linked into George Best Belfast City Airport on the line to Bangor.

Additionally there were plans to add a fifth platform to the station, which would have culminated in Enterprise services transferring from Lanyon Place to Great Victoria Street.

[27] However, under Translink's subsequent plan to build a new integrated transport hub, the proposal has expanded to the potential construction of a brand new 6–8 platform station on the site of the old Grosvenor Road freight depot, close to the existing station, because the existing site is too constrained for any further expansion.

Great Victoria Street was part of a major public transport interchange, being adjacent to the Europa Buscentre.

These serve various destinations that are not on the railway network, including Enniskillen, Banbridge, Omagh, Downpatrick, Cavan, Newcastle, Strabane and Armagh.
