I think it makes a lot of sense. Without it, there are a couple of closely spaced stations, then a fairly big gap, then a few more fairly closely spaced stations. Without Parnell Square there's a good chance trains will start to catch up on each other and have to slow down or stop anyway, so you might as well put in a station.

Best practice is to space the stations as evenly as possible along the line.
