The North West Transport Hub is one of three EU-funded INTERREG projects progressed in partnership with the Department of Transport, along with Cross-Border Greenway projects and the FASTER EV Charging Infrastructure Project.
It was planned and delivered by Translink at a cost of £27 million. This funding was received from the INTERREG Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) as well as additional funding from the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland, the Irish Department of Transport, and from Derry City and Strabane District Council.
The North West Transport Hub is now complete and operational with an event marking the close-out of the project held in March 2023. The Hub provides enhanced passenger facilities, a park and ride facility with 100 spaces including disabled spaces and e-charging points, and links to a Greenway path to Foyle Street Bus Station and the City Centre via the Peace Bridge.
