What really is wrong with the lift in Sandycove

[Mark Gleeson]

Its been an ongoing joke that the Northbound lift in Sandycove is out of service

On site investigation shows the lift was subjected to a serious vandal attack

That said IE have not done anything to fix it and they have had 3 months. So why is there no notice on the IE site. It is fixable if they bothered

Is there any other way to access the platform if you are mobilty impaired? Maybe nobody uses it?..

[Mark Gleeson]

The platform has always had ramped access, its just a lot steeper than regulations demand. Would probably need a member of staff to assist

[Colm Moore]

The building regulations (possibly not strictly applicable to railways) insist on a slope of 1:12 on distance up to 6m and 1:20 for longer slopes. You need a level section after every 6m.

[Mark Gleeson]

Good old section M applies

The slope is about 1 in 8 maybe 1 in 10 ish with no level sections and its a good 25-30m
