Its better than nothing at all, the stopping pattern from Hazelhatch can be very confusing

The clock on the Maynooth line ones, the one in Coolmine is off by up to an hour is a problem, displaying the correct time is helpful

Option a is to hack up some rather unreliable solutions which would only be useful for 10-12 months even then it can only see a train departing Heuston when its somewhere past Clondalkin. The system can't see a train departing Cork, train vanishes at Limerick Junc, probably goes missing outside Portlaoise and again at Portarlington even when it can see a train its guess work with several minutes variance

or

Option b focus on the long term and make it work flawlessly with the new system
