Ceannt Station Galway

Those L-shaped slabs are only part of the structure, they are not the finished platforms.

Looking forward to the improvements.

Dont know about anyone else but always found Galway station to be one of the most depressing ever

There's a lot of competition in that space.

Colbert in Limerick would be my WOAT I'd say, quite a few questionable characters around the place, and it always seemed to somehow be colder inside than it is outside. Oh and often full of pigeons flying around.

Kent in Cork and Plunkett in Waterford are also grim. Now that I think of it actually, they're nearly all fairly shite.

Unrelated to Ceannt but I think the worst station in Ireland is Mallow, Co. Cork. Coldest place in Ireland!

Ballybrophy when it was about to get mothballed was grim alright, but now with the new signs and maintenance that's been going on it's a grand little station

And Waterford’s brand new station is being built as part of the North Quays development https://waterfordnorthquays.ie/buildings/

It has 20 bays - that’s more than enough.

This means more people going to trains will be passing through the people in queues for busses. Messy.

I was there today.

All pax leaving a train must now walk along the path on Station Road, and so mix in with bus pax waiting for busses.

Whereas before, train pax could leave by the western exit, direct to Eyre Square, or else leave by the main entrance, and avoid some (not all) of the bus queues.

how is Kent station grim ?

As with any works, there's going to be disruption.

The long term benefits will outweigh that disruption.

That doesn’t equate to funding actually being allocated.

The track clearly needed to be renewed at the time, and safety will always dictate the ongoing maintenance programme.

What is the max length of an ICR on the Galway route?

I haven't been there for a few years to be fair, but my abiding memory of regular travels through it as a child was that there was always fights outside it.

It's the old goods shed, remained in use for freight traffic until the early 2000s. No idea what it's used for today, if anything.

Seems to be coming along well!
