Default Signage (or not) at Harmonstown

If I'm just blind, please delete this thread.

Got the DART from Harmonstown this morning. Only the second time I'd ever used the station - came out of it a few months ago.

Had a rough idea where it was - was walking along Brookwood Rise, knew it was somewhere on the right after the post office. Eventually asked someone, and found I'd walked about two minutes past it. I'd actually looked down the lane as I passed, but from the angle I was coming from you can't see the station.

Only had time for a quick look on the way back as I was now running late for the train, but there appear to be absolutely nothing to indicate there's a station there. Didn't even notice any DART signposts in the area.

Did I miss something, or is the station totally unmarked?

I don't think it's marked on this side. From memory it's marked on the other side of the lane from Ennafort. Truth is the station entrance is in the wrong place. The platforms should be lengthened northwards and the entrance put onto Brookwood Avenue. Killester station is also in the wrong place and should have the entrance moved to Collins Avenue.

Is there not plans to move Kilester to Collins Avenue? Been talked about for a long time. Those road entrances are way too narrow and no bus can serve them.

These are the dart stations on the northside, when going north at the end of a train, have no on platform signage as to which station they are???#

Any station I've used on the Northside has been really badly signposted.
