  The station is much smaller than I had expected and it could not really be described as attractive. However, it is well maintained and the staff are very helpful.
  
  There are two platforms and confusion among passengers can result because platform 2 can only be reached via Platform 1. Platform 1 is used for trains to and from Dublin Heuston while Platform 2 (a much shorter platform) is used for the departing Limerick services.
  
  The good news is that the station will undergo a major redevelopment to make it the most modern transport hub on the island of Ireland. The two railway platforms will be upgraded to three to cope. Bus services also form a major part of this, with 25 bus bays to be positioned next to the rail platforms. A taxi rank will also be located immediately outside the station, and car and bicycle parking will be located near to the station as well. The station will be designed in 'cathedral' style, with a fully glass roof providing natural light as well as heat in the winter months and reducing both in the summer.

  What a dreadful introduction to what turns out to be a very pleasant coastal town steeped in history. A railway station must be a functional building but there is really no excuse for the run down and distinctly grubby prospect that greets arriving travellers. Trains are few and infrequent so a coat of paint and a general tidy up would be neither expensive nor intrusive.
