Haven't seen this here yet, but looks like Belfast Grand Central Station is on the right track!

Progress looks very good with bus services now operating.

Does anyone know if it is down to the old trams as to why so many of Belfast's streets are so wide (Comparatively, to other UK cities)?

When a car and motorcycle accident occurs, the Taiwan restricts the motorcycle to only drive on sidewalks. and sidewalks closed to pedestrians except from 19:00 to 22:00.
