In station information, the lack thereof and the quality thereof

At Balally however there is not as the design/
layout of the platform does not allow for it.

Surely all they had to do is mount the display facing the other direction (I'm not too familiar with the station, so I don't know how much of the platform is unable to see it). Doesn't explain why the displays are 1-sided.

In tara, on the northbound platform the other day.
Looking up and down the platfrom there is only one exit sign visible, pointing at the new exit which is still under construction and is not an exit. There is an exit sign on the platform wall ( i.e. parallel with the track and invisible unless you look away from the track or are on the southbound platform) pointing towards the normal exit, visible when you walk towards the not-an-exit-yet

Just to bump this as it still applies. The only exit signs visible from most of the station point away from the exits.

At least it was till relatively recently. I haven't checked in the last few weeks, but for a long time the only exit sign on the southbound platform pointed to the old stairs with the locked entrance. I know there is a big thing that looks like a bridge in the other direction but there are a lot of people who put their faith in signage.

How the people watching the CCTV must laugh as they see visitors walking all the way to the end of the platform, scratch their head in wonder, check the other side of the stairs just in case, double check the signage and then resignedly walk back up the platform to the *actual* exit.
