Botanic railway station serves the Botanic area in south Belfast, Northern Ireland and students for Queen's University Belfast; it is also near Shaftesbury Square which is along Botanic Avenue. It is named after the nearby Belfast Botanic Gardens. It is one of the four stations located in the city centre, the others being City Hospital, Template:Stnlink and Grand Central.
The station opened on 26 April 1976 and is very close to City Hospital Station.[1]
Passengers can alight here for the Ulster Museum, which is situated on the edge of Botanic Gardens.
Services
Train services
On weekdays, there is a half-hourly service on the Bangor Line between Grand Central and Template:Stnlink, with extra trains at peak times. The Derry~Londonderry Line operates an hourly service between Grand Central and Template:Stnlink, with additional trains to Template:Stnlink at peak times. The Larne Line operates a half-hourly service to Template:Stnlink and Template:Stnlink, with the terminus alternating between the two every half-hour. Extra trains operate to Template:Stnlink and Template:Stnlink at peak times.
On Saturdays, service patterns remain largely similar except without any additional peak-time trains.
On Sundays, the Bangor Line reduces to an hourly service. The Derry~Londonderry Line alternates its outbound terminus every hour between Template:Stnlink and Template:Stnlink, resulting in a two-hourly service to stations beyond Template:Stnlink. The Larne Line also reduces to hourly but continues alternating the terminus between Template:Stnlink and Template:Stnlink, resulting in a two-hourly service to stations beyond Whitehead.
The timetable allows 3 minutes for the trains to travel between Template:Stnlink and Botanic.
At one point, the cross-border Enterprise service to Dublin Connolly served Botanic, but no longer stops at the station.[2]
