Level access via Georges Quay entrance

To the platforms

Both platforms can be accessed by lifts, stairs or escalator
Access to platforms from Townsend Street is by stairs only

Quoted from Irish Rail's page for Tara Street. Worked out from Irish Rail's own station page, which is written by hand and has been wrong before. It is a careful reading, not a survey, and it does not know about anything the page leaves out. A notice that names a platform is read against the second list, and one that names the concourse or entrance against the first. Know this station? Tell us what this gets wrong.

The escalator at platform 1 is out of service due to planned works. Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail apologies for the inconvenience caused.

A way up lost, not step-free access An escalator is moving stairs, so it was not a step-free route to begin with and its being out did not remove one. Anyone who finds a flight of stairs hard, or has a buggy, a suitcase or a stick, did lose a way up. Irish Rail's page puts a lift on the way to platform 1 as well: "Both platforms can be accessed by lifts, stairs or escalator".
