History

Bridge End (as it was known when it opened on Monday 9 May 1977) replaced the nearby

Victoria Park

Bridge End station was officially renamed "Titanic Quarter" in March 2012 to coincide with the opening of developments in the nearby Titanic Quarter area.[2] In addition, there is planned work which will include improvements to pedestrian and cycle access and new signage from the rail halt into the Quarter.

Service

Mondays to Saturdays, there is a half-hourly service westbound towards

Bangor
