How long does it take to install and test the checkers?
No, that is because unless you install them on the scale of central London tube stations, the build-up of people waiting to leave the station will be so great that the stations will become unsafe. Both stations will require a major redesign to facilitate exit validation.

There are plans on the drawing board for a new enterance lobby on Pearse St, which will presumably be designed with exit validation in mind. Hopefully the Westland Row enterance will remain as a secondary exit and exit validation may then be installed.

Exit validation would be possible in Connolly if the old Suburban station was reopened as this has more room for the barriers. People would then have a choice exits and neither would get overloaded.
