“This ceramic panel is a memorial to the staff of Ulsterbus and Citybus who were killed in the course of their duties during the troubles. The names of the twelve who died are shown on the buses enclosing the lower section of the design. The upper half of the panel representing Belfast includes the old Oxford Street Bus Station, whilst the lower half represents town and country services throughout the province. Dividing the two sections is a river representing the journey from one life to another. Designed and crafted by Diane McCormick, the panel was formally unveiled by Neville Whitehead, Chairman of Citybus, Northern Ireland Railways and Ulsterbus, on the occasion of the opening of Laganside Buscentre on 1 May 1996.”
