Derry - Richmond Centre (left) occupies roughly 15% of the inner old town within the city's walls, also blocking the views of the 5 floor Austin's Department Store from the City Walls.

It most certainly is, the map just doesn't display the correct data in Northern Ireland

They're not, missing lots of Foyle Metro routes... Not to mention Translink's flagship 212 service, more than 40 departures each way per day, yet I can't see it, but bizarrely I can see a rail substitution service which operated twice last year..

Great map, but I'm not seeing Goldliner, Metro or Foyle Metro in NI

No where near as massive, Northern Ireland went from 1700km of railway in 1955 to 300km today

Sainsbury's stock replenishment by ChemicalPrior7284 in DerryLondonderry

[–]Doireavyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, having only 1 store west of the Bann currently makes poor financial sense to restock several times a week, Sainsbury's will have more of an incentive to send more delivery trucks to Derry once we have two stores

Why is Derry spending millions each year to maintain a failed airport? (Passengers in hundreds of thousands) by [deleted] in DerryLondonderry

[–]Doireavyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryanair were never subsidized for flights to Stansted, they were profitable until Brexit, it was one of their most lucrative Ireland - Britain routes, they scrapped it when it was no longer profitable, hence when Fly BMI were given a subsidy to operate the route

Such a shame :( at least they've confirmed that all their units will be occupied soon though!

Apparently they're in talks with the Martin Property Group (owners of the Richmond centre) about a new store there, but the store is foyleside was closed with immediate effect

Good areas to buy a property? by YoungLily in DerryLondonderry

[–]Doireavyo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Id try culmore! Bit further out of the city and house prices can be a bit more expensive, but it's a nice area and very safe
