No info displays online as of yet in coolmine or castleknock.
In coolmine they have (re)planted new bushes behind the maynooth bound platform. Also new bins and new seats like the metal ones they have in stations.
The rain shelters have also been removed but not replaced yet.
Presumably a job for the weekend. This weekend hopefully.

There was also work done out in the car park, with a new boundary wall built on one side. The bike shed has been moved up to the otherside of the station building too (further away from the road).

Mainly visual improvements. The new bike shed I'm sure is welcome for the cyclists.
To be honest, new metal seats arent worth much to me. Most people at commuter stops dont wait terribly long and you'd freeze your arse off sitting on them in winter. The old bin was as good as the new one.

If they really wanted to improve my passenger experience, some sort of quasi real time (gps or whatever) information system would have been nice.
Or even go mad and give us longer or more trains!

But I guess beggers cant be choosers.
