When you say using both signal cabins what do you mean ?
After the rockfall it was completely manual for some months. Central Cabin at the platforms was completely closed off and IE then began works to transfer all station workings to Waterford West. They renewed all track/signals between Belview and Sallypack (Dublin side) including main platform and also renewed the bay platform. Work on extending the platform began some months ago. (longest work in history) but recently the Central Cabin access cordon was removed and they are using it for some form of operation as lights are on and have saw staff going up. Can't really tell what they might be controlling as all those "not irreversible" works under taken in the above post by BK don't appear to me to be reversible any longer.

Both platforms have their own lines once you arrive at West cabin, you are no longer able to cross a train between Central and West if any severe delays happened which they have previously done. They had the second running line and crossover (buffer blocked, crossover) but all were lifted in recent months.
