The gate in Newbridge was actuall removed last Friday I think,as the bolts were put on the wrong side! I could say something regarding typical Irish Rail efficiency but.....! The station master advised that this gate was for Health & Safety Reasons due to the nature of the slam door trains. I queried whether Sallins was getting a similar gate, I was advised that this issue didn't arise in Sallins as most people enter the station from the Dublin bound platform, now, I thiught the issue from Irish Rail was people boarding a train that was already cleared to depart, if that is the case then surely passengers in Sallins should be prevented from entering the station building! I not suggesting that this is what IE do, but is it not the extension of their logic?
Also we have IE for a copy of the plans to re do the carpark, we await these.
