non slip surfaces at platforms

Same problem occurs on the ramp to platforms 6 & 7. I used to walk along the bumpy part (the "yellow line" for blind people, I presume) on platform 4 quite a lot when it was raining.

Personally, I think they should advertise this feature. Introducing Dublin's Newest Ice-Rink...

The one on P4 is lethal

whoever is responsible for platform and bridge design in IE has clearly arrived in Ireland from a much warmer drier climate (the Kalahari Desert maybe).

Apart from the lethally slippy tiles, most of the tarmacced platforms suffer terribly from standing water, as do the new bridges in Bray & Greystones (in Greystones they had to come back after the bridge had been up for several months and actually drill holes in the deck and the steps to allow drainage - it hasn't worked)
