A campaign to reconnect Belfast city centre with commuter towns and airports through a circular rail line is gathering momentum.

The Circle Line initiative seeks to reopen the Knockmore Line between Antrim and Lisburn, and coupled with existing rail infrastructure, the Bleach Green track, to in effect create a ring around the city.

An online petition has been set up to garner support for the proposal and to date over 5,620 people have backed it.
