Went out today. Its kinda in the middle of nowhere at the moment, the only thing within about 1km is a building site for the primary school, although planning permission is in for the secondary school and for preparation works for the town centre.
The station has a canvas roof similar to Dun Laoghaire, but being on a flat plain is rather windy, both 'indoors' and out.
Spacious concourse. Exit validation (partially in use). Lifts all working. 4 platforms and possibly space for a fifth. Cleaning crew out washing the fences for the official opening next week.
The energy saving facility that turns off the light in the toilets is a little too zealous. Sound insulation not enough when a Mk 3 / 4 goes past at full belt.

They were operating this afternoon. Something about needing an "old fashioned" memory chip. I'm not sure if "old fashioned" was literal or meant "common or garden type".

5. No signage within Adamstown to indicate which platform to town

Hmm, just as well they left the gate open in case you wanted to go to Kildare but accidentally went to platform 2. Yer screwed if you did it the other way though.

8. Nothing outside to say this is a station

Plenty of signs 200-500m down the road, and there is nothing else on the road.

10. If you head up the central platform staircase you will find it locked, pity a simple notice or a simple rope across the enterance with a no entry sign, would sort it

This is the fire escape. It was also pad-locked. It has no fire protection - especially odd in a fire escape that goes
up.
Centre lift indicates platform level is the exit level, which is arguable.
