Rush-hour chaos as new Glider bus lanes cause massive tail backs in Belfast's Titanic Quarter

Rush-hour chaos as new Glider bus lanes cause massive tail backs in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.

Traffic madness in east Belfast. New Glider bus lanes are being phased into the Titanic Quarter and motorists aren't happy. The new traffic system is causing big problems for rush-hour commuters. And get this, even Metro buses have been unable to get through the traffic chaos. Stephen talks to Kris Nixon who works in the area, Alliance MLA Naomi Long and environmentalist Jeff Gazzard.

Also on the programme, tomorrow night will see the biggest fight night ever in Northern Ireland as many as 24,000 people are expected to pack into Windsor Park to see Carl Frampton take on Australian Luke Jackson. Also on the card will be Paddy Barnes, Conrad Cummings and the comeback of Heavy weight Tyson Fury. Stephen spoke to boxing pundit Steve Bunce.

And, crowds of mourners gathered during the night outside the church in Detroit where Aretha Franklin started singing as a child. The soul star died of cancer yesterday at the age of 76. President Trump said her work would inspire generations to come. Stephen spoke to broadcaster and music historian Paul Gambaccini.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
