Answer
This issue is an operational matter for Translink. I have sought the requested information and can confirm the 215 service has been moved out of Europa, now Belfast Grand Central Station. This temporary move is to facilitate the ongoing public realm works for the new station and to prevent the service being caught up in traffic disruption. Translink plan to move this service into the new Belfast Grand Central Station before the end of 2025.
For any future queries relating to operational matters, you should contact Translink directly at aqw.request@translink.co.uk. Making direct contact with Translink will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of limited public resources.
