Spotted this when I went home for dinner

Someone has ripped down the old noticeboard at Seapoint which was only put in a few years back

Look at what we got now

Endemic of a company that doesn't bother to offer reasons and leaves itself open to criticism.

You'd wonder why they didn't wait until they were repainting the wall to do that?!

It seems to be yet another example of the right hand not knowing what the left hand's doing and a complete lack of station management.

There's been a planning application outside seapoint for at least two years. It also semms that they have changed the planning permission a few times.

What exactly is the situation?

The station needs upgrading. There is only two ticket barriers, it serves a secondary school and the bridge doesn't seem very safe not to mention it is not at all mobility impaired freindly.

Also if they wanted to upgrade it a la Blackrock/Killney there is a slope going down into the station which could be reversed to go up. There is also space behind platform1.

There has been a combination of legal issues with the ownership of the lands around the station and the residents objected which didn't help

Planning permission was finally obtained last year

The floor level of the new station will be roughly 6 feet about the current levels. The plans suggest a station somewhat like Dun Laoghaire

Its one primary school, one secondary school and one IE general manager. The station is reasonably well looked after its cleaned up a lot in recent times, can't same the same for the staffing it seems to spend a lot of time closed at weekends (like today) and there is the playstation addict clerk

They did repaint the wall

Made up for, in part, by the young balding guy, probably one of the most helpful and friendliest people to have ever worked for Iarnród Éireann.

He is great, the older guy who has been there since the coming of the DART is sound as well.
