Translink is working closely with my Department to examine the options for reopening the Antrim to Knockmore railway line. A business case is already in development and will be submitted to my Department by Translink later this year. As the Member will have heard me say before, ensuring airport connectivity for communities and businesses is vital to the economy and is an important step towards the delivery of the all-island strategic rail review recommendations. I have met representatives of both Belfast City Airport and Belfast International Airport, so I know how keen they are to see rail links in the future, because they will be hugely important for their future plans and for connecting our communities and people right across the North.
