In December 2018, NIR announced that 21 additional carriages would be purchased from CAF to extend 7 units from the Class 4000 fleet to be 6 carriages in length.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gant |first=James |date=7 December 2018 |title=Northern Ireland rail network to benefit from 21 new and improved carriages |url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/northern-ireland-rail-network-to-benefit-from-21-new-and-improved-carriages/37602291.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240329180839/https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/northern-ireland-rail-network-to-benefit-from-21-new-and-improved-carriages/37602291.html |archive-date=29 March 2024 |access-date=29 March 2024 |website=Belfast Telegraph}}</ref> Both platform 1 and 2 at Derriaghy were too short (only 3 carriage trains could call at the station) and each platform needed to be 150m in length,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=29 March 2024 |title=Derriaghy Station Improvements |url=https://www.translink.co.uk/corporate/media/improvementsandprojects/derriaghystation |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240329173415/https://www.translink.co.uk/corporate/media/improvementsandprojects/derriaghystation |archive-date=29 March 2024 |access-date=29 March 2024 |website=Translink}}</ref> so the decision was taken to extend the Lisburn-end of platform 1 but rebuild platform 2 across the Queensway road with a ramp to make the station fully accessible.{{fact|date=March 2024}}
A planning application was submitted to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council in March 2021, of which approval was given in October 2022. Consequently, construction commenced July 2023. The new platform 2 opened on Monday 25 March 2024, and all works are due to be completed by Spring 2024.<ref name=":0" />
