    Back in the 1970s/90s there a fine restaurant on Platform.1. which management kept a secret where the awful Brasserie was later on. Though nominally open to the public it was used by Head Office managers to entertain - even me on a couple of occasions - silver service too but it had all the appearance of being closed. Venetian blinds on the windows.

    Sic transit gloria mundi. :D

    I worked as a waiter in that restaurant back in the late 80',s..It was on platform 2.

    You have me there alright, Platform 1 was accessed via Platform 2 - the old military platform if I remember correctly. Anyway, the old 'secret' restaurant was a good place to eat - a bit like the secret restaurant in the old buffet at Connolly.

    If I am not mistaken, the numbers were changed when the middle platform (3&4) opened in 1974.

    Before that, we had the departure platform, now 2, the arrival platform, now 5, and the military platform, now 1. I think the military platform might have been 3, in which case, 1&2 were the departure and arrival platforms.

    So, you're both right.
