Hi, new to te board etc...

Lately I've noticed that it is very tight (especially getting off the 17.13 ex Pearse) getting out of Balbriggan station in the rush hour. The door out from the platform can only fit 2 abreast. Meanwhile there is a gate beside the train station building that is constantly locked. Surely IE could open this gate at peak times to allow more people through faster. (At the moment it takes a good 5 mins to just get off the platform and into the carpark) I'd hate to be rushing to catch a train going into Dublin whenever a train gets in from town!

Anyway, rant over, I'm sure many other stations have similar problems.
