Heuston - inbound delays waiting for platform

[Mark Gleeson]

Which platform did you end up in? and by front or rear of the carriage shed

platforms 6/7/8 can only be accessed from a single track so if a train is coming out of those platforms you can't go in. Platforms 4 and 5 can be accessed from both sides. Platform 1 is only 90m long and can't be accessed if something is coming in/out of platform 2

Also for operational reasons, not all platforms have fuel and water systems yet so they can get picky to have the train in the right place for its next journey. Back in the day Cork trains were banned from platforms 1,2 & 3

There is a hidden empty train at 08:25 to Portlaoise
