Pearse Street Platform 1

Could IR not reopen platform 1 which could be used as a start place for trains heading south? Instead of starting them from Connolly.

Or is it because that area is used to park trains?

Platform 1 is the current northbound platform, which platform are you thinking of?

Also, there are very few trains that run southbound starting from the city centre anyway.

In old terms

Terminus was 1,2,5, DART was 3,4

1 was filled in due DASH project for the new substation
2 & 5 filled in or will be to provide a escalator and lift shaft to new concourse below

None of the terminus platforms could accommodate a 6 coach train under modern safety rules making them rather worthless
