    Unfortunately when IE migrated their website certain things were left behind like the 2011 network statement. I found a copy and uploaded it to scribd, but I think the attitude in IE going forward is that such information is too useful to the likes of us and thus you have to be a big.ugly.corp to solicit it from them - unless there is some legislative requirement for them to post it...?

    Essentially, everything Dublin-Cork is 200m, everything else is 178m, with a few exceptions - commuter stations and bay platforms typically being shorter.

    Platform's - sounds like the name of a railway bar, a really lame one.

    the main outlier is the Rosslare line with its ~120m platforms.

    There are several exaggerations in the network statement about the status of inactive lines plus noting Roscrea with two platforms when only one is passenger-available for access reasons.
