Intriguing picture on Belfast pub wall

[chipbury]

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 certainly generic, with maybe a touch of Leeds and Tri-ang.

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!

There’s so much in the place it’s not surprising you missed it!
Good excuse for a return visit though.

Are those London taxis on the left?

They do seem a representation of FX4 taxis, the standard type at the period represented (green diesels etc) but most major cities of the era required this type, not just London.

The architectural style of the roof does remind me of the north side of Leeds.

Fun fact for pub quizzes, etc:

Gerry Adams worked as a barman at the Duke of York for a short time when he was 18-19.
