Richard McClean, managing director of Grand Central, said: “The proposed additional services are an important part of Grand Central’s longer term strategic development, building on the strong growth we have seen on our existing routes. We believe that expanding our operations will benefit both our existing and potential new passengers, as well as grow existing markets.”
