The usual problem - all displays are obscured by other fixtures on the platform, in this case the frames of the fancy new large shelters. Only clearly visible over about 10% of the length of the platform.

Clocks are all 1 minute slow. Some of the train drivers are waitng on these clocks resulting in delays on the route. Docklands train at 8:34 has missed it's slot at Glasnevin junction 3 or 4 times this week and has been 5 or 6 minutes late at Docklands each time.

The train information on the displays has not been updating most days. It still shows the 6:42 to Connolly as the next train even at 8:34.

Car Park is 'pay per bay' - not sure if it's being implemented yet, but there are signs all over the place threatening car owners.

One temporary issue...
The bridge over N3 outside the station is not yet open so cars or pedestrians can not access outbound side of N3. Cars leaving the car park must go back 1Km towards the city to Ashtown roundabout (at evening rush hour this is usually standing traffic). Passengers leaving the station on foot must walk almost 1Km in either direction to cross the road.
