Luggage storage at Belfast Grand Central Station

Arriving hours before check-in or stuck between trains, you'll want your hands free for Belfast itself. These are the places nearby that will hold a bag while you're gone.

The Enterprise to Dublin leaves from here, and local services fan out to Bangor, Larne and Londonderry. For evening arrivals, the Grand Opera House opens an hour before performances, which is worth knowing if you're meeting someone there. Translink stations do not provide luggage storage, so you will need to use a nearby shop or hotel instead. The station is set within Weaver's Cross, a new neighbourhood close to Belfast city centre. You need a valid ticket to pass through the automatic gates onto the platforms. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 10+ locations near Belfast Train Station.

Trains, getting around and station changes

The Enterprise service to Dublin leaves from here and is run jointly by Translink NI Railways and Iarnród Éireann, so it’s a natural departure point for cross-border trips. Getting around with bags is straightforward enough, as both the Glengall Street and Grosvenor Road entrances have step-free access, with tactile paths running all the way to the rail platforms and bus stands. Lifts also take you up to the retail floor if you want to grab something before travelling. If you’re arriving by Glider, the G1 stop at College Square East is just a short walk from the station.

And if you’re coming back to a Belfast station you knew before, note that both Europa Bus Station and Great Victoria Street Station have now closed, with their services moved into Grand Central.

Baggage rules and station facilities

NI Railways can refuse you entry if you decline a baggage search, so expect that your bags may be checked before you board. For a quieter moment, the station has a Sensory Nook, accessible toilets and Changing Places facilities beneath the escalators near the customer support office. Local and regional services fan out from here to Bangor, Larne Harbour, the Coleraine line to Londonderry, and Portadown through to Newry.

If your journey is for an evening show rather than a train, the Grand Opera House is Northern Ireland’s premier theatre and opens its doors one hour before performances.
