I was in the Duke of York pub in Belfast on Saturday. The walls and ceiling are completely filled with beer/whisky advertising and related pub items (mostly Guinness related).
However in amongst all this was the attached drawing of a terminus station. I have no idea if it’s a caricature of a real place or made up.
Any thoughts?

Looks like an artists impression of Dublin Connolly which has direct trains to Rosslare Harbour and Dun Loaghaire. Although those trains use the through platforms not seen here.

Ignore all that. Just noticed it mentions travel to Ireland...

I think it may be a generic advert with a fictional station. Hoping to be proved wrong!

Almost Lowryesque. Looks like a stylised 'Janet and John' station (childrens' 50s / 60s reading book) - older posters will be familiar! Bang up to-date too, with concrete roof spans and some form of EE diesel traction! SR green signage for the 'Buffet & Bar'.

Thanks for the replies.
I really liked it when I saw it, would look nice as a print.

I failed to spot that poster when I was in the Duke of York last year.

Sounds like l need to go back!
