I'm not expecting any great changes. Having a local administration will make it harder for Translink to close Befast-Derry, if they wanted to. Maybe we might see that line upgraded into a proper Intercity service instead of a glorified branch line. I know a lot of people would like to see the resurrection of the Portadown-Armagh, Lisburn-Banbridge and the Derry Road, but there are more than enough problems on the existing network to sort out before we could even think of any of those ideas.
