After Translink bought and demolished buildings on a former South Eastern Regional College site outside Lisburn, the company reportedly stated that station development works would commence "between late 2015 and early 2016".[2] However, while plans were reportedly subsequently "resurrected", as of 2019 the proposed station site "remained vacant".[2]
