Noticing that a year has elapsed since my last inspection, I called today, unannounced.

Immediately on arrival, it was clear that a total replacement programme has occurred on the signage.

I did feel that the signs with the map could be better sited, to make it easier for a driver to work out where he is, if he has become disorientated.

And I discovered a rather more technical way of saying "just let yourself out".

 

New litter bins have also arrived.

 

And fencing to secure the Nenagh branch terminus.

 

The new footbridge is suffering from the elements in places.

 

The old water crane, on the other hand, is looking well after a recent repaint.

 

The water tower looks no worse than it has done for some time.

 

The 'alien message' made from mixed-up bricks, that was assembled on the end of the Platform 2/4 ramp, was erased when the new platform markings were applied.

 

My visit had concluded when I just spotted headlights under the bridge and I was treated to 221 pulling a few flats through.

A cursory inspection, as I passed by today.

The main item of note was the biting northwest wind - the shelter of the buildings on the northern side was most welcome.

The only other thing worth reporting was the arrival of 22132, having a short breather on its way south
