Bayside Train Station

Twoandahalfmen

This station used to be my local station (now its clongriffin) but IMO i think its an absolute kip. Theres always knackers hanging around in there smoking. And at night when your walking under the tunnel to baldoyle is dangerous as youths would hang there drinking and waiting for a fight. Happened 2 weeks ago to my mams ex friends husband

What are people opinions and bad/good experiences about this station and other stations. I Dont want to sound to negative but cant help it.

Howth Junction would give it a serious run for its money.

They "upgraded" Howth Junction just over 10 years ago and made it much worse. There are now 10 times as many places for scum to hide and hang out. Junkies live in the over pass at night and the place is covered in piss and **** every morning because of it. It takes twice as long to get around it too. It was much better the way it was. All they had to do was add 3 lifts to bring it up to code. You can't walk around the stairs or ticket areas during the rain as the floor tiles turn into a surface worse than icy glass to walk on. Disaster of a station.

Just wait till "Pelletstown" station ( discreetly funded by Varadkar ...shhhhhh) opens next to it and INEVITABLY becomes an air rifle magnet.

Or borrow Deco's brothers golden ticket which would let them get out of the cold and into a train. They could smoke and drink to their hearts content as the poor checker would hardly dare to give out (let alone ask for photo ID) in case he was savagely assaulted.

The fecking ticket checkers at the station. One was a spoilsport and took away yer mans cans and hash pipe while he fined your man just because he was using a golden pass. The other sat back and did nothing while these piss heads drank away and intimidated the passesners, no doubts traveling on fake passes while he turned a blind eye to.

Jokes aside, it's a fact that certain stations in certain parts of towns worldwide are infested with vermin who abuse stations while other parts have tidy safe stops. Dublin is no different to anywhere, including those cities with transport police.

Alexanderplatz in Berlin is a case in point . Very dirty, full of dodgy people , quasi-regular atabbings in the vicinity and a permanent police presence.

They cleaned up (broadly) Bahnhof Zoo but so far they haven't done it in Alex despite it being a prime tourist spot.
