Minister Kimmins said:
“The Belfast Rapid Transit Glider service has been a huge success and has helped transform and modernise public transport services in east and west Belfast.
“I remain committed to the delivery of BRT Phase 2 which will extend the Glider network into north and south Belfast. My officials have been working to progress the scheme at pace since my announcement in February 2025. On site survey works began in June 2025 to inform the preliminary design, and the Outline Business Case was approved in December 2025.
“Therefore, I am pleased to confirm that AtkinsRéalis has been appointed to advance the detailed design and work closely with the DfI BRT2 project team to prepare for the construction phase.”
