"The study will consider the passenger demand and operational model for the line," Translink said.Andrew McDonald from Fund the NINE railway campaign group said that it was "the best news we could possibly hope for".
He wants the track to be dualled and connected as part of a circle line around commuter areas in greater Belfast.
