Pearse Street Station

Next, you should walk outside and notice how grubby the whole city has become. It’s really only an issue if you’ve got a dirty station in a clean city, but how is anybody supposed to notice the difference in Dublin?

sadly true.. there is a complete lack of pride in the appearance of the capital:mad:

I walk past the entrance to the station every evening. I agree, its extremely grubby, I am always glad I don’t have to go inside. The pavement outside is very uneven, which results in large pools forming when it rains…..not great when you think of the number exiting the station at peak times.

Of course it’s Pearse Station, not Pearse Street Station. It’s actually on Westland Row (it’s former name).

My, five replies before the aul bugbear was corrected must be a record on this site. Usually its up straight after the firing gun! Getting slow in our old age :p

If Pearse station is ever upgraded, I hope CIE do a better job than they did on Connolly station.

I was under the impression that they are waiting until the Interconnecter work begins until they give the place some TLC. That roof is going to be a huge job to refurbish.

If they do refurbish it, they should keep the present form, but there is a great opportunity for all sorts of activity to be inserted under the arch – making this part of the city an attraction in itself. And isn’t this station the original terminus for the world’s oldest rail passenger service (allegedly)?

look at the state of front of it

this pic of is out of date im glad the a train station sign has been put up so people don’t just think its giant spar shop.

could the grab a bit of the road to but a bit more of plaza/ standing place outside of it.

Translation please.
