Default Possible safety hazard @ Castleknocok (Blanchardstown)

Was up in Blanchardstown about a week ago, and some sleepers on the Inbound line looked to be in very bad condition.

Firstly, single colour smooth surface usually associated with concrete had been eroded in parts to show the stoney mix in the centre.

Secondly, the date-stamps which are supposed to show the month and year of relay were worn down and no longer visible.

Finally, and this is most worrying what lead me to make this report, one sleeper seemed to have very significant erosion underneath the sleeper chair.

I've uploaded an image. Please excuse the large size.
