A Titanic-themed tourist attraction and a rapid transit transport system are to be built in Belfast as part of a £250m (€298m) investment.
...
The transport route will run from the east to the west of the city and so link two areas traditionally divided on religious grounds.
Stormont ministers gave the go-ahead for the ambitious infrastructure projects during their weekly Executive meeting.
...
Work on the rapid transit system is set to get under way in 2011 and one of its stops will be at the new Titanic centre, which is on the east side of Belfast Lough.
It will run from the Milmount in the east to Glenmona in the west and will call at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald, Stormont, the City Hall, the Royal Victoria Hospital and a number of other destinations.
Ministers had rejected proposals for a full tram network on cost grounds, with the rapid transit system described as being a 'tram on wheels'.
