It's hard to imagine the city without the M3 taking us over the Lagan and spotting the Odyssey appearing on the side.

The footage was taken in October 1993 and starts at Great Victoria Street station heading into Belfast Queen's Quay Depot by train.

It then takes a tour of the Cross Harbour Rail Link Bridges under construction and the Lagan Weir.
You can even spot the old Seacat in the video!
