Sinn Féin Cllr Kevin Savage has welcomed news that Banbridge will benefit from a new cross border rail link.
The news came in the All Island Strategic Rail Review published by Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd.
Cllr Savage said: “ Banbridge being connected to the new rail line will be a huge boost to the entire area.
“Connection to the rail line will further enhance Banbridge’s reputation as a good place to live and work and will encourage further investment in the area.
“Banbridge is strategically placed on the all island economic corridor, a new rail connection means we are on the right track for success.
“The Council must closely work with Stormont to maximise the potential this announcement offers.”
